“…Although food articles – particularly nuts and seeds – are common sources of FB in airways, recently, there have been a lot of data on the FBs in the aerodigestive tract. [ 1 4 ] For instance, the Susy Safe Project is a surveillance system on the food and nonfood FBs in children. [ 5 ] A previous study found that the common area for location of the FB was the esophagus in Thailand, whereas in some of the European countries, it was frequently the nose.…”

Ingestion of foreign object is a common problem with children. These foreign bodies (FBs) can be in the respiratory tract of the aerodigestive tract. A 14-month-old male child presented to the emergency department of our hospital at 6.30 pm with irritability and continuous crying. On radiology, we found that the metallic body in the shape of a cycle was lodged in the upper esophagus. We decided to remove the FB endoscopically using an esophagoscope. We used meticulous and gentle manipulation around the edge of the metallic FB and did over a sufficient amount of time so as to dislodge the body from the impacted esophageal mucosa without causing any trauma or bleeding from the adjacent site. The child was placed under overnight observation in the hospital. The stay in the hospital was uneventful, and the child was discharged the next day. We would like to present this case due to unusual shape and nature of the FB and the difficulty encountered in clinical management of the patient.

scribed having partial remission of symptoms, slowly progressing with the expiratory dyspnea and stridor. The rigid laryngoscopy showed a subglottic mass occluding 70% of the light, with preserved chordal mobility. Computer Tomography (CT) performed as a diagnosis protocol showed in the tracheal lumen a soft tissue isodense mass extending from subglottis to the 3 rd tracheal ring, approximately 5 × 10 × 5 mm wide, with irregular edges (Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3). A tracheotomy was performed under local anesthesia followed by a direct microlaryngoscopy, achieving
