A Rare Laryngeal Foreign Body Case: Postcricoid Total Dental Prosthesis

Abstract

In this case report, 60‐year‐old patient who aspirated total dental prosthesis into the postcricoid region was presented with patient's history, clinical findings, radiologic examinations and surgical treatment with comparison of literature data. To our literature knowledge, this is the first total dental prosthesis detected in postcricoid region. This was unusual because it did not cause any respiratory disorders such as laryngospasm and asphyxia, although it led to mucosal abrasions in a wide area of esophageus. Laryngoscope, 2023
