Abstract

Foreign bodies in the esophagus, such as coins, meat, marbles, buttons, and chicken bones, are quite commonly encountered. We present the case of a fishing lure that was retrieved from the esophagus of a child. Since Louisiana is the "Sportsman's Paradise," it seemed appropriate to report this case in the Journal of the Louisiana State Medical Society.
