Abstract

Oesophageal foreign bodies are commonly removed with rigid oesophagoscopy under general anaesthesia, but spherical foreign bodies can also be removed using a foley's catheter under fluoroscopic control without anaesthesia. We present a case of successful removal of a spherical marble from the oesophagus in a four years old girl by a foley's catheter under general anaesthesia.
