Introduction The incidence of foreign body ingestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract accounts for 75%–85% of foreign body ingestions in pediatric patients. Case presentation An 8‐month old boy presented with vomiting and was referred to the otorhinolaryngology team based on his mother's suspicion that her child might have ingested a foreign body. Flexible laryngoscopy revealed a phone screen protector at the vallecular region. The foreign body was removed in the operating theatre. Conclusion Foreign body ingestion should always be suspected in young patients. Consideration of the patient's symptoms, level of lodgement, and type of foreign body will determine whether immediate intervention or a conservative approach is warranted.

Introduction Congenital tracheal stenosis (CTS) is a serious and rare condition. In most cases, CTS is associated with cardiopulmonary abnormalities; however, isolated CTS is present in 10%–30% of patients. The severity of the disorder is dependent on the symptoms, which correlate with the CTS classification. Case presentation We discuss our findings in an infant who presented with severe respiratory compromise where incidental intra‐operative findings revealed CTS with no cardiopulmonary abnormalities. Because of a lack of resources in the emergency department, we created a tracheostoma and inserted an endotracheal tube. Conclusion The main aim in treating CTS is to secure the airway and provide sufficient oxygen.
