A fatal denture in the oesophagus
The Journal of Laryngology and Otology
|September 1, 1978
Abstract:
An unusual case is described of a denture in the oesophagus which caused a fatal haemorrhage from the aorta. The post-mortem examination confirmed that a projection from the denture had impinged upon the aortic wall, after perforating the oesophagus, with subsequent erosion of the aorta.
