[Iatrogenic foreign body of the esophagus].
The AA. report the case of a 79 years-old patient suffering an esophageal stenosis managed with intubation (Celestin's tube). This instance shows the good tolerance of the prosthesis by the patient as well as the undue of its stay. And by the way, the simplicity of its removal with a rigid esophagoscope, as was the present case. The paper contemplates a brief review of the indications for esophageal intubation and possible complications when dealing with organic stenosis of the esophagus.
