Abstract

This is a case report of an elderly lady with odynophagia because she accidentally swallowed a tablet which was still wrapped in its blister pack. A discussion of foreign body ingestion, particularly in the elderly, is included. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first paper that includes a lateral cervical radiograph of an ingested blister pack.
