Palliation of esophageal obstruction due to benign or malignant causes, esophageal stents effectively implemented. Strictures of the upper cervical esophagus stent placement, foreign body sensation in his neck due to constant worry and discomfort that the patient has particular challenges. Additionally, the endoscopist needs to have great skill to properly adjust the proximal stent end. We present the experience of stenting high cervical esophageal strictures with a selfexpanding metalic stent, in postoperative benign stenosis. Dysphagia disappeared and the endoprosthesis was well tolerated.
