Fish bone ingestion is a common cause of foreign body impaction in the aerodigestive tract, particularly in regions with fish-rich diets. While most cases resolve without complications, rare occurrences of extraluminal migration can result in severe morbidity and potential mortality. This case report discusses the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges and surgical management of a 35-year-old male with extraluminal migration of a catfish bone into the neck at Rivers State University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. The report highlights the importance of early diagnosis and timely intervention to prevent severe complications.
