Abstract
Foreign bodies in oesophagus are not uncommon. Due to natural anatomical constrictions foreign bodies get lodged invariably. Coins, bones, open safety pins, tumps of meat are commonly encountered in food pipe. Inhaled, swallowed or aspirated foreign body is a serious problem and on occasions can be fatal ( Schloss et al 1983). Many a time these accidental inhalations or aspirations of foreign bodies in children is neither observed nor suspected (Cohen et al 1980), Cases of long term impacted foreign bodies in oesophagus are uncommon and particularly round glass marble for a year is rarely reported. A rare case of impacted marble lying in mid oesophagus for one year is reported herewith.
