- Intramural foreign bodies in the oesophagus are uncommon but can lead to serious health issues.
- A 6-month-old baby was found to have a coiled metallic wire in his oesophagus during a chest X-ray, which was an unexpected finding.
- The wire was removed successfully using a rigid oesophagoscopy, and this type of case has not been documented in infants in English literature prior to this.
Article Abstract
Intramural foreign body in oesophagus is very rare and is mostly associated with complications leading to high morbidity and mortality. Recently we came across a coiled metallic wire discovered unexpectedly in a chest X-ray of a 6-month-old male baby. This was further investigated and was found to be located intramurally in the oesophagus. It was successfully removed with rigid oesophagoscopy performed under telescopic guidance. No such foreign body has been reported in an infant so far in English literature.

Pilonidal sinus is a common pathology of the intergluteal cleft that can develop into abscess or suppuration. This lesion corresponds histologically to a granuloma that organizes around foreign bodies, most often hairs, and fistulizes to the skin through partially epithelialized orifices. If suppuration and abscess develop, treatment is based either on medical treatment combining analgesics, local antiseptics and sometimes antibiotics, or on emergency incision and drainage in the operating room.
