AbstractForeign body ingestion is a common pediatric complaint. Esophageal foreign body (EFB) requires early diagnosis and emergency removal of the object. We report 3 cases of EFB detected by point-of-care ultrasound demonstrating characteristic sonographic findings. Point-of-care ultrasound can be a potentially useful modality for identifying EFB.
