1 Fishbone penetration of the thoracic esophagus with prolonged asymptomatic impaction within the aorta  Sheung-Fat Ko, MD, Hung-I Lu, MD, Shu-Hang Ng, MD, Chia-Te Kung, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 57, Issue 2, Pages (February 2013) DOI: /j.jvs Copyright © 2013 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 A, Nonenhanced axial chest computed tomography (CT) showing mediastinal hemorrhage and a fishbone in the posterior mediastinum. B and C, Follow-up enhanced chest CT on day 2 in axial (B) and sagittal oblique (C) views showing a fishbone in the posterior mediastinum. However, definitive determination of whether the fishbone was located within or was closely abutting the thoracic esophageal wall was difficult.

3 Fig 2 Follow-up nonenhanced chest computed tomography (CT) 6 months after discharge showing complete resolution of mediastinal hematoma and migration of the fishbone into the descending thoracic aorta.
