“…The FB had migrated from left to right bronchus. 2 Wu and Wang reported a similar case like ours where a FB, a peanut was aspirated and chest radiograph revealed right lung collapse. The patient then had several episodes of coughing while waiting for bronchoscopy.Surprisingly, bronchoscopy revealed the peanut to be in the left main bronchus.…”

“…The latter situation is seen with thin, laminar, and small foreign bodies impinged between the anterior and posterior commissure of the larynx, which is usually unsuspected. 8,9 To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of stridor caused by a migrating laryngeal foreign body. 5,7 In contrast, the migrating foreign bodies cited in the literature are usually migrating between the right and left main bronchi.…”

We report the case of a 6-year-old boy who presented with a 2-month history of stridor and respiratory difficulty, preceded 1 month earlier by dry cough. The evaluation before admission revealed glottic narrowing due to diffuse inflammatory changes. On examination, the patient was seen to have biphasic stridor and respiratory distress with diminished breath sounds throughout both lung fields. Laryngoscopy revealed multiple polyps and granulation tissue causing marked laryngeal narrowing. No foreign body was detected in the larynx. Elective tracheostomy was performed before proceeding to bronchoscopy. The latter procedure revealed a foreign body in the left main bronchus. One week after the foreign body extraction, repeat bronchoscopy revealed nearly total disappearance of polyps and granulation tissues. The tracheostomy tube was removed and the patient recovered uneventfully. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of stridor caused by a migrating laryngeal foreign body. A thorough endobronchial examination should be carried out in patients with unexplained laryngeal polyps and granulation tissue.

Acute foreign body aspiration can occur in the setting of oropharyngeal procedures, especially if conscious sedation is used. We report a case of a patient undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy with band ligation complicated by aspiration of the handle and ligator located at the tip of the endoscope. Despite the large size of the foreign body, the patient was asymptomatic. The endobronchial object was visualized on a computed tomography scan of the chest. Flexible bronchoscopy was performed using rat-tooth grasping forceps with successful removal of the object. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of foreign body aspiration during endoscopic band ligation and should serve to heighten awareness of aspiration during oropharyngeal procedures under conscious sedation.
