[An unusual foreign body in the esophagus].
This is a case of oesophageal penetration by dental prosthesis probably brought on by alcoholism. No other classical complication occurred for three weeks. It was increasing dysphagia that led the patient to hospital. Endoscopy revealed an unfamiliar object and its nature, but did not enable it to be extracted. The object was taken out afterwards by cervicotomy.
