[Esophageal perforations by foreign bodies. A contribution of three cases].
Oesophageal perforations due to foreign bodies are a rare pathology with an increased index of complications. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the mortality, which accounts for 28 percent. We report 3 cases of oesophageal perforations due to foreign bodies, 2 of them localized at the cervical level and the 3rd, at the end of the thoracic oesophagus, the later ending ominously.
