The patient is a 47-year-old male who experienced acute odynophagia after eating a meal consisting of fish. The patient felt a foreign body-like sensation in his proximal esophagus. He was evaluated with lateral C-spine films and soft tissue films without any evidence of perforation. The patient was then taken to the endoscopy suite where EGD was performed along with removal of a foreign body. The endoscope was advanced into the esophagus where careful review of the mucosa revealed no foreign bodies and no obstructions. However, the gastroesophageal junction did show a very small fish bone, which was removed without any difficulty. The remainder of the GI tract was unremarkable. The patient tolerated the procedure well.
