Abstract

The PTP (Press-Through-Pack) has been widely used as a packing material for tablets and capsules. But esophageal foreign bodies attributed to the PTP may cause injury to esophageal mucous membrane, potentially inducing severe complications such as hemorrhage, perforation, etc. We report three cases of PTP foreign bodies in esophagus with reference to recent literature.
