ÖZET
 Özofagusta yabancı cisim veya gıda takılması, gastrointestinal sistemin sık karşılaşılan acillerindendir. Yabancı cisim yutulması veya özofagusta gıda takılması sıklıkla (%80) pediatrik yaş grubunda (6 ay6 yaş) görülmekle birlikte, erişkinlerde ise sıklıkla dişsiz olan bireylerde, psikiyatrik hastalığı olanlarda ve yoğun alkol kullanımı olan bireylerde görülmektedir. Çocukluk yaş grubunda madenî para ve düğme şeklindeki pillerin yutulması en sık karşılaşılan nedenler arasındadır. Erişkin özofagus yabancı cisim vakalarının, Batı ülkelerinde en sık nedeni et ürünleri iken, Doğu ülkelerinde ise balık kılçığıdır. Erişkin yaş grubunda, olguların büyük çoğunluğunda (%80-90) dışarıdan müdahaleye gerek kalmadan, yabancı cisim gastrointestinal sistemden kendiliğinden atılmaktadır. Ama özellikle kasıtlı yabancı cisim yutulması ya da nöropsikiyatrik hastalığı olan bireylerde endoskopik müdahale ve cerrahi girişim oranları yüksektir. Yabancı cisim veya gıdanın boyut ve şekli meydana gelebilecek komplikasyonlar açısından önem arz eder. Özellikle düzensiz yapıda ve büyük olan yabancı cisimler özofagus duvarında basınç, ödem, iskemi ve mukozal erozyon yaratarak hayatı tehdit edici özofageal perforasyon gibi komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. Özofagusta yabancı cisim ve gıda takılmaları en sık çizgili ve düz kasların fizyolojik geçiş noktaları ve aortik arka bağlı daralma alanlarında görülmektedir. Hastalar sıklıkla retrosternal ağrı, disfaji ve odinofaji şikâyetleri ile başvururlar. Bu vakaların yaklaşık %25'inde altta yatan özofageal hastalık olduğu bildirilmektedir. En sık karşılaşılan hastalıklar striktür (%33,9), hiatus hernisi (%20,2), özofageal web ya da Schatzki halkasıdır (%17,1). Bu derlemede, özofagusta yabancı cisim ve gıda takılmalarına yaklaşım özetlenmiştir.

ABSTRACT
 Foreign body or food impaction in the esophagus is one of the common emergencies of the gastrointestinal system. Foreign body ingestion or food impaction in the esophagus is frequently (80%) seen in the pediatric age group (6 months-6 years), but in adults, it is often seen in edentulous individuals, those with psychiatric diseases and individuals with heavy alcohol use. Ingestion of coin and button batteries is among the most common causes in childhood. While the most common cause of adult esophageal foreign body cases in western countries is meat products, in eastern countries it is fish bone. In the vast majority of cases (80-90%) in the adult age group, the foreign body is excreted spontaneously from the gastrointestinal tract without the need for external intervention. However, endoscopic intervention and surgical intervention rates are high, especially in individuals with intentional foreign body ingestion or neuropsychiatric disease. The size and shape of the foreign body or food is important in terms of complications that may occur. Especially irregular and large foreign bodies can cause pressure, edema, ischemia and mucosal erosion in the esophageal wall and cause life-threatening complications such as esophageal perforation. Foreign body and food attachments in the esophagus are most commonly seen in the physiological transition points of striated and smooth muscles and in the narrowing areas of the aortic posterior. Patients often present with complaints of retrosternal pain, dysphagia, and odynophagia. It is reported that there is an underlying esophageal disease in approximately 25% of cases with food or foreign body impaction in the esophagus. The most common diseases are stricture (33.9%), hiatus hernia (20.2%), esophageal web or Schatzki ring (17.1%). In this review, the approach to foreign body and food impaction in the esophagus is summarized.
