- Abstract
Patients presenting to the hospital with esophageal food bolus impaction often need urgent upper endoscopy. However, patients with trismus and microstomia can pose a real challenge because endoscopic access in these patients can be difficult. We present a unique transoral endoscopic approach for esophageal food bolus disimpaction in a patient with microstomia and trismus resulting from chronic graft-vs-host disease.
