What happens during the disease - foreign body in oesophagus
Инородное тело при проглатывании может задерживаться в местах естественных сужений трубки пищевода. Большая часть предметов (особенно, острые объекты) застревает у входа в пищевод или в его шейном отделе. В области грудного сужения пищевода чаще обнаруживаются крупные и тупые предметы, а также монеты. В дистальной части органа находят препятствие крупные косточки от фруктов, куски мяса, зубные протезы. Иногда в пищеводе могут образоваться алиментарные комки из утрамбованных, плохо прожеванных кусочков плотной пищи, приводящие к его обтурации.
В случае длительного нахождения инородного тела в области пищевода могут наблюдаться пролежни, локальный некроз слизистой оболочки, декубитальные («целующиеся») язвы, гематомы и рубцовые изменения его стенок. Попадание постороннего объекта в пищевод сопряжено с получением травм пищевода (непроникающих, проникающих ранений его стенок), развитием воспаления (гнилостного эзофагита, абсцесса, медиастинита). Нахождение большого чужеродного объекта пищевода в проекции гортани, может вызывать асфиксию.
