Introducci?n: En pa?ses en desarrollo la problem?tica de cuerpos extra?os en los servicios de Otorrinolaringolog?a est? mal estudiada. La ingesta de un cuerpo extra?o es relativamente frecuente en los ni?os, pero puede ocurrir en adultos con trastornos mentales o en reclusos. Descripci?n: Un paciente con problemas psiqui?tricos que ingiri? un objeto met?lico. En la valoraci?n psiqui?trica se diagn?stico una crisis de ansiedad tras un conflicto familiar. Se realiz? extracci?n con esofagoscopia sin complicaciones. Discusi?n: La ingesta voluntaria (intencionada) de un objeto se presenta com?nmente en pacientes con trastornos psiqui?tricos, especialmente esquizofrenia, con retraso mental o en poblaci?n reclusa. Sin embargo, la ingesta de un cuerpo extra?o de gran tama?o est? vinculada a un comportamiento parasuicida. Conclusiones: Siempre se debe sospechar la presencia de cuerpo extra?o en los pacientes con disturbios psiqui?tricos con odinofagia en la ausencia de infecci?n faringoamigdalina.
Introduction: In developing countries the problem of foreign bodies in Otorhinolaryngology Services is poorly studied. Intake of a foreign body is relatively common in children, but it can occur in adults with mental disorders or in inmates. Description: A patient with psychiatric problems who ingested a metallic object. In the psychiatric evaluation, an anxiety crisis was diagnosed after a family conflict. Extraction with esophagoscopy without complications was performed. Discussion: Voluntary (intentional) intake of an object commonly occurs in patients with psychiatric disorders, especially schizophrenia, mental retardation, or in the inmate population. However, the intake of a large foreign body is linked to a parasuicidal behavior. Conclusions: The presence of a foreign body should always be suspected in patients with psychiatric disorders with odynophagia in the absence of pharyngotonsillitis infection
