Özet:

Fish bone as a foreign body in the throat is common and frequently seen in emergency departments. In most cases, the bone is stuck in the tonsils or oropharynx, some go further to the laryngopharynx, and in rare cases they may go furthest. The authors report a rare case of a fish bone that migrated to the thyroid gland [1, 13&14] Fish bones as swallowed foreign bodies can be managed by direct removal using headlight or require an endoscopic approach. Some even need open surgery. Some bones may penetrate the mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract and migrate to neck soft tissues and organs. In such cases, patient complaints are of unusual presentation for swallowed foreign bodies, and patients may suffer different complications that require a more aggressive management [2].
