Popis:	A 60-year-old woman with autism and a repetitive swallowing behavior ingested a removable partial denture that impacted in the proximal esophagus. Attempts at endoscopic removal were unsuccessful. Esophageal perforation was recognized, necessitating emergency transcervical surgical exploration, esophagotomy with foreign body removal, and repair of the esophageal perforation. She had a prolonged postoperative stay involving mechanical ventilatory support and gastric tube feeds. This situation was predictable and preventable, and application of key principles may help avoid such catastrophic incidents in similar patients.
