Late onset tracheo-oesophageal fistula following a swallowed dental plate

PB Rajesh and JJ Goiti
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Northern General Hospital, Sheffield, UK.

Swallowing dentures and dental plates has been a cause of distress among elderly patients. Tracheo-oesophageal fistula caused by a foreign body is rare and of the cases reported in the literature only one was due to a swallowed denture which resulted in a recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy [4]. We describe a delayed onset tracheo-oesophageal fistula due to a swallowed dental plate in a young patient.
