Tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration is a potentially risky medical event, associating with clinical manifestations varying from acute respiratory distress, to chronic pulmonary infections, even death. 1 Notably, accidental foreign body aspirations in children and adults with normal bronchial system are relatively uncommon occurrences, 2 which can develop with or without the presence of obvious incentives. Therefore, the condition often requires early detection and rapid intervention to improve respiratory symptoms and prevent major morbidity. 1,2
