Core Tip	Esophageal bezoars are rare. The reverse migration of gastric bezoars to the esophagus leading to complete esophageal obstruction is even rarer. Our patient presented with sudden retrosternal pain, dysphagia and salivation after severe retching. Esophageal bezoars were diagnosed by computed tomography and gastroscopy. Endoscopic fragmentation using a mouse-tooth clamp and snare was successful and there were no complications. This case demonstrates that retrograde migration of foreign bodies from the stomach leading to acute esophageal obstruction should be suspected when patients present with sudden retrosternal pain, dysphagia and salivation after retching.
