A radiology resident in Saudi Arabia wasn't sure what to make of a slim metallic object she saw in the chest radiograph of a toddler. But a frontal view on x-ray revealed it to be none other than the cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants, part of a pendant the child had swallowed, according to a report from LiveScience.
The pendant actually belonged to the toddler's sister, said Dr. Ghofran Ageely from King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah.
"I was amazed by the visible details," Ageely wrote in an email to LiveScience. "You can see his freckles, shoes and fingers ... AMAZING."
Doctors freed the pendant, which was stuck in the boy's esophagus, without any complications.
