Abstract
- Fishbones are the most common upper aerodigestive and esophageal foreign body found in adults. Usually these bones pass, but when complications arise, they can be catastrophic and may include neck abscesses, mediastinitis, and esophago-aortic or esophagocarotid fistulas. We report the radiologic findings of fishbone injury occurring in a 48-year-old man in whom a globefish bone had penentrated the hypopharynx and migrated to the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
