title: Radiological diagnosis of accidental oesophageal intubation.
abstract: Oesophageal intubation is rapidly fatal if not recognised. We report a patient who not only survived an oesophageal intubation but who had chest X-rays taken which showed an oesophageal intubation which was initially recognised by the attending physician.
