Abstract
Complications due to foreign body ingestion are rare; however, if present, these can cause signifcant morbidity to the patient. An overlooked ingested foreign body could present as an emergency and may prove fatal. We present a case of an accidentally ingested foreign body with delayed presentation, which migrated to the neck and produced a cervical abscess presenting as septic shock. Te patient required prompt stabilisation followed by surgical intervention. Te patient’s vital signs returned to normal on the second post-operative day, and he was discharged the following day.
