Abstract

Ingested foreign bodies which migrate extraluminally are rare occurrences. If untreated, they may result in life threatening complications. The patient presented with a history of swallowing a fishbone which migrated extraluminally. CT is invaluable tool in localizing the foreign body and inflammatory changes of the neighbouring soft tissue for external exploration. We also reviewed sensitivity and specificity of plain radiograph and computed tomography for impacted fishbone.
