Case Discussion
The patient was said to have ingested 5 foreign bodies, thought to be needles.
Only 4 were identified in the stomach. None were observed in the thorax.
The very generously coned chest radiograph shows the 5th needle, which was then confirmed on the lateral soft tissue neck radiograph to lie in the oropharynx.
Unable to process the form. Check for errors and try again.
