Original title: the man accidentally swallowed the denture when eating. The doctor was also stunned after CT examination!
Uncle Zhu, 65, made rice with pumpkin and mung bean soup. He swallowed two dentures in his mouth and stuck them in his esophagus. Most importantly, the two dentures also have an iron barb, and the situation is very critical.
Uncle Zhu is from Jiangjin. At noon yesterday, the canteen of the working unit cooked pumpkin and mung bean soup. Uncle Zhu loved it very much, so he soaked the soup in rice. Unexpectedly, the two dentures in his mouth were also swallowed.
Uncle Zhu became more and more uncomfortable and his face turned blue. The situation was very critical. He was rushed to the hospital by his family. The results of the CT examination surprised the doctor.
Zhou Bo, the attending doctor, said, "according to CT, we found that the teeth have entered the esophagus, and a very bad situation is that there is a hook formed by steel wire on the teeth."
If the teeth and the iron hook stay in the body, uncle Zhu is likely to cause neck abscess, or the iron hook stabs the nearby large blood vessels due to esophageal peristalsis, which is life-threatening. The hospital decided to implement general anesthesia for uncle Zhu. Through esophagoscopy, the teeth and iron hook were finally taken out smoothly.
Zhou Bo, the attending doctor, said: 'the denture and barb are taken out. We measure a total length of 4cm. If we continue to go down, it will be very close to our aortic arch. In this case, if the aortic arch is damaged, this person's life will be in danger.'
