Abstract

Tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a major cause of mortality and

morbidity in children(1). Acute or prolonged respiratory symptoms require a high index of suspicion for FBA. Due to FBA,

severe airway obstruction and death may occur in infants and younger children because of small airway size(2). Rigid

broncoscopic (RB) examination and extraction is a mainstay of treatment. Any FBA suspicion must be checked and ruled

out via RB. We report on two extreme FBA cases.
