Multiple Foreign bodies in the GI tract (2 of 12)
Case description
Pathophysiology
Foreign bodies may involve the entire upper GI tract. The
oropharynx is well innervated, and patients can typically
localize oropharyngeal foreign bodies. Scratches or
abrasions to the mucosal surface of the oropharynx can
create a foreign body sensation. Chronic foreign bodies or
perforations can cause infections in surrounding soft
tissues of the throat and neck.
