The objective of the study was to report the case of a patient transferred for management of a foreign body in the upper esophagus at the University Clinics of Kinshasa. This is a 62-year-old patient who ingested her dentures while taking medication, consulted for dysphagia and hyper sialorrhea, explorations revealed a high esophageal location of the foreign body (CE). It was a three-toothed prosthesis with hooks. The esophagus was closed at separate points and the wall in three planes after installation of a drain. The postoperative period was marked 48 hours later by fever and polypnea. The haematological workup performed showed moderate anemia. The frontal chest x-ray revealed superior bile-lobar pneumonia. The diagnosis of an ENT and / or pulmonary entry-gate Sepsis is made and the patient is treated with triple antibiotic therapy (3rd generation cephalosporins, tazobactam and immidazoles). The clinical course was good with thermal lysis. After an unsuccessful endoscopic extraction attempt, a cervicotomy was performed allowing the extraction of the said foreign body. This extraction was carried out by a multidisciplinary team made up of digestive surgeons, ENTists and Gastroenterologists. The follow-up after the intervention was satisfactory and the patient had resumed his digestive function without handicap and survival.
