Anterior bowing of the intra-thoracic trachea: A sign of radiolucent esophageal foreign body. A report of 2 cases.
Purpose or Case Report: Esophageal radiolucent foreign bodies can be overlooked in infants since the symptoms are usually nonspecific. Chest X-Rays are often the initial diagnostic tool. The lateral view is key since it may reveal anterior bowing and/or focal narrowing of the intra-thoracic trachea which should alert the radiologist to the possibility of radiolucent esophageal foreign body and the need for an Esophagram. We present two cases that illustrate the importance of this radiographic finding.
