Coins, buttons, marbles, crayons, parts of toys etc. are the most commonly ingested foreign bodies in children. Fish, meat and chicken bones, dentures, nails etc. are the most common foreign bodies ingested by adults. We report a series of unusual foreign body ingestion in aero-digestive tract and their management by endoscopic retrieval.
