Foreign Body Ingestion Chest Xray

Foreign Body Ingestion Homogenous Circular Opacity: The foreign body is circular with sharp borders and has a homogenous radiopacity. This combination of findings is more consistent with a coin than a button battery, which usually has a double/radiolucent rim (i.e., halo sign). Location: The opacity is seen at the level of the cricopharyngeus/aortic arch and is most likely within the cervical portion of the esophagus. A lateral radiograph would help confirm that the object is located within the esophagus as opposed to within the trachea. Orientation (En Face): Ingested foreign bodies typically become impacted in the coronal plan. Pitfalls: Swallowed objects may be radiolucent and thus a normal x-ray does not exclude foreign body ingestion. 📺 Subscribe To My Channel and Get More Great Quizzes and Tutorials    / @med4vl   #FOAMrad #MedEd #radiology Disclaimer: All the information provided by Medical Education for Visual Learners and associated videos are strictly for informational purposes only.
