Abstract
Fifteen cases of the so-called “Cafe Coronary”following impaction of solid food in the larynx during the last 4 years in the city of Dublin are reviewed. The easily remembered name of a preventable accidental death is misleading and we recommend that it be a bandoned in favour of its correct title, i.e. impaction of food in the larynx.
Keywords: The “Cafe Coronary”
