Atypical foreign body bronchus
Keywords:
Bronchial foreign body, Bronchoscopy, CoalAbstract
Foreign body inhalation is a clinical emergency requiring prompt action to ensure speedy recovery and minimize the complications. This is common in children rather than in adults. We hereby report a case of a neglected foreign body which remained in the bronchus of a child for years before the diagnosis was made and appropriate treatment was given.
