An 85-year-old man, whose name was not disclosed, arrived at the emergency room after suddenly developing difficulty swallowing, leading doctors to suspect that something was stuck in his esophagus.
To find the cause, they performed a cervical X-ray and discovered an unexpected finding: part of his dentures had become lodged in his throat, partially blocking the passage of food.
The object was detected in time, helping explain the sudden symptoms and turning what seemed like a common issue into a curious medical case.
