Background.

Migration is the most frequent and well-known complication of self-expandable metal stents (SEMS).

Most of the time, migrated stents are still in the esophagus and can be relocated or removed successfully through endoscopy.

However, what can be done if the stent is stuck between two esophageal strictures? Herein, we present a child with a trapped esophageal stent.

Method.

A 2-year-old male patient with an esophageal stent which migrated and became stuck between two esophageal strictures was reported.

Results.

Proximal stricture was excised, and the stent was removed via a right thoracotomy.

Balloon dilatation was applied to the distal stricture.

The patient was discharged on the 17th postoperative day without any problem.

Conclusions.

Pediatric patients with an esophageal stent should be closely followed up during this period.

Early detection of complications makes treatment easier.

Otherwise, there may be no option other than surgical treatment, as in the patient presented here.
