    Background:

    • Foreign body ingestion is a common pediatric emergency, with esophageal impaction posing significant risks.
    • Delayed diagnosis of esophageal foreign bodies can lead to severe complications, including malnutrition and respiratory distress.
    • The

    Observation:

    • A one-year-old infant presented with persistent cough, feeding difficulties, and weight loss, suggestive of a prolonged foreign body presence.
    • Imaging revealed a

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering prolonged foreign body ingestion in pediatric patients with nonspecific respiratory and feeding symptoms.
    • Diagnostic imaging, particularly chest X-ray, plays a crucial role in identifying radiopaque foreign bodies in the esophagus.
    • Prompt diagnosis and intervention are essential to prevent long-term sequelae in pediatric foreign body ingestion.
