%X Patients presenting with sharp pain in their throat after eating fish were studied to determine the site and frequency of impacted fish bones. In 79% no fish bone was demonstrated despite careful follow up. In those proven to have a fish bone 93% were in the oropharynx. The role of X-rays and the indications for referral for endoscopy are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
