Abstract:
Foreign body aspiration is a life-threatening
pediatric emergency which may sometimes results in sudden death.
Children may present with chocking episode, coughing, wheezing
or stridor. Early diagnosis and prompt intervention saves the life
and helps in avoiding pulmonary complications. The objective of
this work was to find the most common type of tracheo-bronchial
foreign body, associated clinical signs, radiological findings,
locations and complications encountered and the intervention
needed for removal and to resolve complications.
