  • Title: Aortoesophageal conduit due to a foreign body.
    Author: Jiraki K.
    Journal: Am J Forensic Med Pathol; 1996 Dec; 17(4):347-8. PubMed ID: 8947363.
    Abstract:
    Foreign body-induced aortoesophageal conduit is a rare but frequently fatal condition. In children, ingestion of small objects can lead to such a problem, and care in eliminating small parts from the environment can lower the risk of this serious condition. This is a case report of a child who ingested a sharp, small foreign body that impacted in the esophagus and perforated the esophagus and aorta. With a hollow cylindrical shape, the foreign body provided a conduit between the aorta and esophagus, resulting in fatal massive bleeding.
