Abstract

Ingested fish bone is a common otorhinolaryngology emergency in Malaysia. Fish bone is commonly impacted in the oropharynx for young patients and oesophagus for elderly patients. Rarely, a fish bone migrated extraluminal and require surgical exploration. We report a five cases of fish bone which involved extraluminal migration, and needed repeat CT scans and various types of surgical exploration.
