Foreign body impaction in the esophagus amongst adults is not a common cause of dysphagia. Fish bone, food bolus, dentures may cause symptoms of dysphagia, odynophagia, chest pain or respiratory distress. It needs prompt evaluation along with removal of the substance either surgically or endoscopically to avoid the development of life threatening complications. Here we are reporting a case of an elderly male, who presented to us with a history of absolute dysphagia for one week, as a consequence of ingestion of a pill in blister pack.
成人食管异物嵌顿并非吞咽困难的常见原因。鱼骨、食物团块、假牙可能导致吞咽困难、吞咽痛、胸痛或呼吸窘迫症状。需要立即进行评估，并通过手术或内镜取出异物，以避免发生危及生命的并发症。在此，我们报告一例老年男性病例，该患者因吞服泡罩包装中的药丸，出现完全吞咽困难一周前来就诊。
