Abstract:
We present a 55-year-old lady who swallowed a 3 cm pointed metal foreign body whilst eating a sardine salad. The foreign body migrated from the hypopharynx through the parapharyngeal space and traversed the common carotid artery over a period of 12 days. The foreign body was removed by exploration of the neck.
