| Abstract | ||||
| A 3-year-old female swallowed a large metallic coin (one Egyptian pound; the largest coin in Egypt). Laryngeal examination failed to demonstrate the coin and serial X ray films showed the coin impacted in the upper esophagus. Extraction under general anesthesia was done 5 days after swallowing. Areas of pressure necrosis at the site of impaction, as well as changes in the coin were noticed. | ||||
