. Foreign body impaction (FBI) in the esophagus can be a serious condition, which can have a high mortality among children and adults, if appropriate diagnosis and treatment are not instituted urgently. 80-90% of all foreign bodies trapped in the esophagus usually pass spontaneously through the digestive tract, without any medical or surgical intervention. 10-20% of them will need an endoscopic intervention. . We hereby present a case of a large chicken piece foreign body impaction in the esophagus in a 25-year-old male with mental retardation. Patient developed hypoxemic respiratory failure requiring intubation. The removal required endoscopic intervention. . Foreign bodies trapped in the upper gastrointestinal tract are a serious condition that can be fatal if they are not managed correctly. A correct diagnosis and treatment decrease the chances of complications. Endoscopic treatment remains the gold standard for extracting foreign body impaction.
食管异物嵌顿（FBI）可能是一种严重情况，如果不紧急进行适当诊断和治疗，在儿童和成人中可能具有较高死亡率。被困在食管中的所有异物中，80% - 90%通常会在没有任何医学或手术干预的情况下自行通过消化道。其中10% - 20%需要内镜干预。在此，我们报告一例25岁智力发育迟缓男性食管内有一大块鸡肉异物嵌顿的病例。患者出现低氧性呼吸衰竭，需要插管。取出异物需要内镜干预。被困在上消化道的异物是一种严重情况，如果处理不当可能致命。正确的诊断和治疗可降低并发症的发生几率。内镜治疗仍然是取出异物嵌顿的金标准。
