  Sometimes even a piece of bone within a meal can lead to perforation of the oesophagus and even injure the pericardium and myocardium. [ 3 ] If an object perforates the oesophagus, it tends to cause acute mediastinitis with chest pain, dyspnoea and severe odynophagia [patient.info]

Pathology Etiology There are many ways in which a foreign body can be introduced into various parts of the human body. [radiopaedia.org]

Mortality Another report by Cheng and colleagues determined that between 2000 and 2009, US pediatric inpatients with airway foreign bodies had a weighted mortality rate of approximately 2.75%, with the rate staying relatively unchanged over that period. [4] Etiology [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology Frequency Most airway foreign body aspirations occur in children younger than 15 years; children aged 1-3 years are the most susceptible. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology The ingestion of foreign bodies is most commonly a problem in young children aged 6 months to 5 years. [patient.info]

Epidemiology Ages affected (typical range 1 to 4 years old) Age under 3 years old: 50% Age under 4 years old: 80% Age under 10 years old: 95% Increased Incidence at holiday time Known object aspiration in less than 40% of cases Choking deaths related [fpnotebook.com]
