“…The total death rate due to foreign body aspiration reaches 1000 cases per year and is the most common cause of accidental death in children under one year of age. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Tracheobronchial foreign bodies do not always produce typical symptoms. The most common symptoms were a history of ingesting a foreign object into the mouth and then choking (85%), paroxysmal cough (59%), wheezing (57%), and marked airway obstruction (5%).…”

Background. Most of foreign body aspiration cases are found in children under the age of fifteen. Pediatric patients often presents with non-food foreign body aspiration, such as toys. The most common clinical manifestation are history of choking following foreign object insertion into the mouth (85%), paroxysmal cough (59%), wheezing (57%) and airway obstruction (5%). Case presentation. Main principle of airway foreign body extraction is to do it immediately in the most optimal condition with slightest possible trauma. Rigid bronchoscopy is a suitable choice for tracheal foreign body extraction. We reported a case of seven years old male with tracheal foreign body presented with history of whistle ingestion five hours prior to admission. This patient was discharged from hospital after third days of rigid bronchoscopy procedure. Conclusion. History of foreign body aspiration in children should be suspected as a tracheobronchial foreign body. Rigid bronchoscopy is preferred to extract foreign bodies present in the trachea. The prognosis for tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration is good if the foreign body is treated early and without complications.

“…Cases are easily diagnosed through the clinical history of acute respiratory distress. Some cases remain less painful and appear later (8). VB is a newly introduced research technique complementing FB in tracheobronchial tree assessment as well as a promising method for the diagnosis of lung diseases (43,44).…”

Aspirations of foreign bodies are life-threatening among children and elderly patients requiring urgent medical assistance. The aim of the study is to present summarized results from various authors' studies to reveal VB's diagnostic abilities for suspected aspiration of a foreign body. VB has been shown to be a particularly useful non-invasive modality for the complex tracheobronchial tree assessment for suspected aspiration of a foreign body due to its high sensitivity, specificity and validity. MDCT VB with MPR allows accurate localization of the foreign body, but in secondary inflammatory changes and secretions it does not provide accurate information about the form and type of the finding. VB cannot replace FB ("gold standard") but successfully supports and complements it. MDCT could provide early diagnosis in cases of suspected aspiration of a foreign body in children and adults and avoid real bronchoscopy in patients with poor overall condition.

“…The gold standard for the treatment of aspirated FB is rigid bronchoscopy with forceps removal. Flexible bronchoscopy is sometimes used to localize the FB prior to removal by rigid bronchoscopy and to remove FB located peripherally [1,[5][6]. Thorough clinical history and examination are crucial in the diagnosis of airway FB as 85% of the cases can be detected during the first physician encounter, whilst 15% of cases may go unnoticed and result in complications such as pneumonia and atelectasis [7].…”

Foreign body aspiration in children is a medical emergency that is associated with significant morbidity and requires medical intervention. The variability of clinical presentations results in delayed diagnosis and treatment. Hence, a high index of clinical suspicion and a thorough examination is needed to expedite the management. We report the case of a toddler girl who aspirated a piece of peanut and was diagnosed as having bronchopneumonia upon presentation with respiratory symptoms for six days. Rigid bronchoscopy was performed and the foreign body was removed successfully without any complications. We aim to highlight the importance of considering the diagnosis of airway foreign body in children with unexplained respiratory distress in our case study.
