Figure 1. (A, B) Esophageal button battery impaction in anterior and lateral chest radiographs. Displayed is a single chest radiograph in anterior and lateral views, featuring a radiopaque foreign body with the characteristic circular shape of a button battery (BB) lodged within the esophagus with double rim shadow. In the anterior view, the object is noted to be superimposed on the spine, clearly suggesting its placement within the esophageal passage rather than the trachea. The lateral view further confirms the esophageal impaction, with the battery positioned anterior to the vertebral column and posterior to the airway.
