The following case describes a head injury in an older male patient in which a large wooden foreign body, forming a subcutaneous tract in the scalp, was mistaken for a depressed skull fracture on initial clinical assessment. This foreign body was not visualised on CT brain imaging until specialised views were used retrospectively, after surgical exploration of the scalp laceration. Appropriate radiological techniques for the detection of radiolucent foreign bodies are discussed.

The following case describes a 29-year-old previously well gentleman who presented with an acute onset of chest pain, dysphagia, odynophagia and vomiting without haematemesis. An oesophageal lesion was visualised on CT angiography and further investigation via oesophogastroduodenoscopy (OGD) diagnosed a spontaneous intramural oesophageal haematoma as the cause of his symptomatology. Conservative medical management in the form of triple therapy and softened diet was well tolerated and a follow-up OGD at 6 weeks after discharge from hospital showed spontaneous resolution of the haematoma.
