Imaging of

the oesophagus: beyond cancer. Foreign body impaction. a Contrast-enhanced CT of the chest in soft tissue window shows a square-shaped opacity (piece of carrot) impacted within the thoracic oesophagus just above the level of the diaphragm. b Esophagram in AP projection in another patient with dysphagia demonstrates a round filling defect within the midthoracic oesophagus. This was endoscopically confirmed to be an impacted hot dog

Imaging of

the oesophagus: beyond cancer. Complication of food impaction with tear of oesophagus during chicken bone extraction. a Pre-contrast axial image of the thorax demonstrates a markedly enlarged oesophagus which is high in density (*) when compared to the adjacent blood pool in the aorta (findings consistent with hematoma). b Post-contrast imaging of the same patient demonstrates areas of active contrast extravasation (arrows) within a markedly enlarged and abnormal appearing oesophagus. Clinical note, patient subsequently had multiple episodes of hematemesis

Sagittal reformatted image in bone window demonstrates a swallowed perforating denture (*) impinging on the upper oesophagus. There is superficial (arrows) and deep (arrowheads) cervical emphysema
