Abstract
An unusual case is described of a denture in the esophagus which caused a fatal hemorrhage from the aorta. The post-mortem examination confirmed that a projection from the denture had impinged on the aortic wall, after perforating the esophagus, with subsequent erosion of the aorta.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
