Impaction of a foreign body in the oesophagus is common in children. If the event is not witnessed by an adult or the object is radiolucent the diagnosis is difficult as respiratory symptoms may predominate. We report a three-week-old child with respiratory symptoms who had both a respiratory syncytial virus infection and a radio-lucent oesophageal foreign body. This case is the youngest yet reported and serves as a remainder of the difficulties in the diagnosis of this important condition.
异物嵌顿于食管在儿童中很常见。如果该事件未被成人目睹或异物是透射线的，由于呼吸道症状可能占主导，诊断会很困难。我们报告了一名三周大出现呼吸道症状的儿童，其同时患有呼吸道合胞病毒感染和透射线的食管异物。该病例是迄今报道的最年幼者，提醒我们注意诊断这一重要病症时存在的困难。
