Abstract
A Foreign Body (FB) may become lodged in the thoracic oesophagus after being ingested. The atria of the heart are in close proximity to the lower portion of the oesophagus. Infections and/or hemodynamic problems are uncommon, although they can be fatal. Pericarditis and/or endocarditis have been related to the isolation of uncommon microbes. Recurrent febrile sickness, reduced appetite, or non-descript constitutional symptoms are common in young children, but they are frequently unable to provide descriptive information that would aid in a rapid diagnosis. The commencement of pain localization to the oropharynx, chest or abdomen or the onset of dysphasia all of which are related to the time of FB intake are missing. When an Esophageal Foreign Body (EFB) erodes through the oesophagus, penetrates the pericardial sac, migrates to the myocardial surface, or even proceeds into the heart chambers, it can cause inflammation, infection, or haemorrhage.
