Abstract
The hazard of ingestion of a beverage can top in a child is presented. These can tops are of surprisingly low radio density and their presence can be overlooked on a conventional chest X ray. In such cases a lateral radiograph of the chest should be included in the routine investigation of the child.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
