The ingress of foreign bodies in the esophagus is relatively easy and, at the same time, frequently, especially during the childhood. Children usually carry to their mouth within easy reach, different objects: seeds, pits/kernels, coins, buttons, food pieces, toys’ pieces, tiny toys, pins, drawing pins, rings, earrings, etc. We present a case of a multiple esophageal foreign body, at which, only the attention and accuracy with which the esophagoscopy was proceeded, has allowed the extraction of the foreign body.
