A doctor in Saudi Arabia was shocked after an x-ray revealed her patient, a 16-month-old toddler, had a SpongeBob SquarePants pendant wedged in his throat.
Dr Ghofran Ageely, who’s a radiology resident in Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz University Hospital, confirmed the boy had swallowed the object - which belonged to his sister.
Dr Ageely told Live Science of her reaction to first seeing the x-ray, “I opened the frontal view (off the x-ray) and was shocked. 'SpongeBob,' I screamed! I was amazed by the visible details.”
“You can see his freckles, shoes and fingers…amazing.”
Doctors were later successful in removing the object from the boy’s oesophagus and the little one was sent home with his family.
As for SpongeBob - we presume he has gone back to his pineapple under the sea!
