Özet
Ingestion of a sharp foreign object can lead to esophageal hemorrhage and perforation, which
is related to high morbidity and mortality. To avoid such complications, early and adequate
therapeutic management of these cases is crucial. Endoscopy procedures are frequently
performed in these patients, and a high proportion of patients with foreign bodies require
endoscopic intervention [1-4]. Most cases of foreign-body ingestion occur in the pediatric
population, with a peak incidence at ages between 6 months and 6 years [5] Among adults, it
occurs mainly in people with psychiatric disorders, mentally challenged individuals, or
impairment caused by alcohol, pica, and those seeking some secondary gain with access to a
medical facility.
