Abstract
Esophageal foreign bodies are frequently encountered in the pediatric population,
and a high degree of suspicion should be maintained in the setting of postprandial
dysphagia. We report the case of a 14-year-old boy with a penetrating esophageal injury
after the accidental ingestion of a wire bristle from a grill brush.
