Figure 1
Thoracic computed tomography examination after intubation. (a) The axial cross-section shows a severely dilated oesophagus filled with food residue behind the trachea (arrows). The left lung parenchyma was infiltrative due to aspiration, and the heart was compressed by the dilated esophagus. (b) The coronal cross-section shows that the oesophagus is filled with food and air up to the cervical region (arrows).
