Abstract
Aerodigestive tract foreign bodies are commonly seen in children or in elderly age group, making its management a challenge for the otolaryngologist. In our study, a review of 160 patients was done who presented with history of accidental ingestion/inhalation of foreign body to the Department of ENT, Govt. Medical College Jammu. The aim of the study was to find the age and sex distribution of aerodigestive tract foreign bodies, their site of impaction, nature and different procedures done for their removal. In our study, it was found that out of 160 aerodigestive tract foreign bodies, 120(75%) were in digestive tract and 40(25%) were in the airway. Majority of the digestive tract foreign bodies (72 cases, 60%) were in the age group of 0 – 10 years while majority of the airway foreign bodies (30 cases, 75%) were in the age group of 0 – 5 years. Coin (63 cases, 52.5%) was the commonest foreign body ingested where as Out of 40 airway foreign bodies, 30 (75%) were of organic nature and 10(25%) were inorganic. Peanut(9,30%) was the most common organic foreign body inhaled. Cricopharynx (80 cases,66.6%) was the most common site of foreign body lodgement in the digestive tract while Right main bronchus (26 cases, 65%) was the commonest site of lodgement of inhaled foreign body. All the aerodigestive tract foreign bodies were successfully removed by hypopharyngoscopy/ esophagoscopy/ rigid bronchoscopy depending on the site of lodgement under general anesthesia.
