Failure to thrive.
Abstract
We report a case of a "butterfly" nut removed successfully from the oesophagus of a 1-year-old baby. This foreign body was thought to have been present for three months. Continuous cough, feeding difficulty and weight loss were the predominant clinical features. The value of a chest X-ray is demonstrated.
