摘　　要：We report an unexpected, previously unreported complication of Bravo p H capsule dislodgement. During Bravo p H testing of a 44-year-old man with gastroesophageal reflux disease, we were unable to endoscopically visualize the capsule attached to the esophageal wall after deployment. After multiple attempts to detect the capsule, it was visualized in the left pyriform sinus. As there was significant risk for pulmonary dislodgement, ENT and pulmonary physicians were immediately consulted to review options for safe removal. Ultimately, ENT successfully retrieved the capsule with a foreign body removal forceps. The Bravo p H test is generally a well-tolerated diagnostic tool used to confirm the presence of abnormal esophageal acid reflux. While few complications have been reported, technical difficulties can occur, including poor data reception, misplacement, and early dislodgement. Rarely, more serious complications can occur, ranging from esophageal wall trauma to capsule aspiration. Gastroenterologists performing this procedure should be aware of the low, but nontrivial, risk of complications. 关键词：GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX disease EsophagealpH monitoring BRAVO CAPSULE Dislodgement ESOPHAGOGASTRODUODENOSCOPY
