Abstract

Foreign body ingestion is not an uncommon encounter in adults, especially denture ingestion in the elderly. Dentures usually studded with wires can be categorized among sharp, irregularly shaped, and impacted foreign bodies, which necessitates their urgent removal considering their capability of triggering fatal complications if left unattended. Aerosolization procedures, especially in patients who are positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is a high-risk procedure that may cause infections in healthcare professionals. We hereby present the challenges faced and the protocol followed for managing the case of a 60-year-old patient with COVID-19 infection who presented with accidental denture ingestion, which manifested as a foreign body in the upper end of the esophagus.
