Abstract

Accidental impaction of a live fish is very uncommon in Oropharynx. Sometimes the impaction of foreign body may be life threatening and requires immediate removal. We report a case where a whole fish accidentally impacted in the oropharynx of a 40-year-old male causing throat pain and dysphagia. Successful removal was done as an emergency procedure.
