Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Gastroenterology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Dysphagia is a common symptom with diverse etiologies.
  • Foreign body ingestion can present acutely, mimicking other conditions.

Observation:

  • A 66-year-old male presented with sudden onset of difficulty swallowing (acute dysphagia).
  • Physical examination and subsequent radiological imaging identified a dental prosthesis as the cause.

Findings:

  • The ingested dental prosthesis was the direct cause of the acute dysphagia.
  • Diagnostic imaging proved crucial in identifying the radiopaque foreign body.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the critical role of detailed patient history in diagnosing foreign body ingestions.
