The normal process of swallowing is an extremely complicated and highly integrated process, only part of which is under voluntary control. The normal process of swallowing requires that the neuromuscular structure, the cartilaginous and bony elements and their innervation will be intact. A number of high technology and semitechnology procedures have been developed which will help elucidate the cause of the swallowing problem. These include: videofluoroscopy, scintigraphy, manometry, fiberoptic endoscopy, ultra-sound, and clinical auscultation. A deglutition team consisting of otolaryn-gologist, neurologist, speech-language pathologist, radiologist, nurse practitioner, and dietitian can have a major impact on determining the cause of the swallowing dificulty and correcting it.

Swallowed Foreign Bodies

Accidentally swallowed foreign bodies were removed from the esophagus or stomach in six children using flexible panendoscopes. Complications did not occur. The increased flexibility of these new instruments allows removal of objects from the stomach that would previously have required gastrotomy. Our experience suggests that fiberoptic endoscopy should be used for removal of foreign bodies.

Greater Curvature

I would like to report two cases of the endoscopic removal of foreign bodies from the esophagus and stomach in addition to those reported in the article by Christie and Ament (Pediatrics 57:931, June 1976). Both patients were girls, 2 years old. Patient 1 had ingested a quarter which remained in a fixed position on the greater curvature of the stomach for almost four weeks. Fiberoptic endoscopy under general anesthesia with the standard adult instrument (Olympus GIF-D1) demonstrated the quarter.
