Abstract
We report two cases of a foreign body in the hypopharynx and esophagus, removed by an external incision in the neck. The first case was a 71-year-old male who complained of a sore throat after eating a fish. No foreign body was detected by pharyngolaryngoscopy, but a CT scan revealed a fish bone in his esophagus, and an abscess formation was detected. The foreign body was removed following transcervical drainage of the abscess. The second case was a 62-year-old female with an extrapharyngeal foreign body due to swallowing a fish bone. A CT scan demonstrated a fish bone in her extrapharyngeal space. The foreign body was successfully removed by lateral neck incision.
