Double coins at the oesophageal inlet
2007
Multiple foreign bodies lodged in the oesophagus are extremely rare. Here an unusual case of two coins accidentally lodged at the oesophageal inlet of a six-year-old girl is reported. The coins were successfully removed by oesophagoscopy. It is to be noted that apart from the straight x-ray (PA view) of the neck and chest, a lateral view is essential for proper characterisation and identification of the type and number of foreign bodies prior to surgical removal.
