This weekend's fun CT

Here’s a case of a young man who presented in respiratory distress with trouble handling his secretions. He’s nonverbal and no other history is available.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

What are we looking at @George-K
Is that a bird?
@taiwan_girl you're looking at a CT of this kid's chest.
CT is done by virtually "slicing" through the body, and this cut is just in front of the spine in the chest. That large "blob" shaped thing, just to the left of the spine, is the esophagus.
If you look closer, there's something strange in the esophagus:
They intubated the kid, and took him to the GI lab, where an upper endoscopy was able to retrieve this:
Kind of a big deal, because this toy was so large it was causing an esophageal obstruction, and pushing on the trachea, compromising his breathing.
He's lucky the esophagus didn't perforate - that is a very serious problem.

@George-K what’s scary to me…is how you and I seem to follow the same Twitter accounts in every subject.

Hmm, the other subjects that are not medical should probably stay between you and @George-K 555

What does this have to do with Connecticut?
