Summary

We report a case of a 2-month-old male child who presented with sudden onset of vomiting and refusal to breast feed. Chest and abdomen examination were normal. A foreign body (zipper) was visualised in the cervical oesophagus on X-ray of the neck. The retrieval of the zipper by oesophagoscopy relieved the symptoms of the patient.
