title: Pharmacobezoar of the esophagus.
abstract: Esophageal medication bezoars are rare. We report a case presenting as esophageal obstruction following an alleged ingestion of 145 tablets. Abdominal X-ray suggested the presence of a large pharmacobezoar in the stomach, and endoscopy confirmed esophageal obstruction by pharmacobezoar.
