foreign body aspiration, recurrent pneumonia, bronchoscopy, bronchiectasisAbstract
Airway foreign body aspiration is unfortunately common when it comes to paediatric population and it still poses many challenges due to vague history, diverse presentation, difficult diagnostic modalities and retrieval intervention. This was the case of a long retained foreign body breathed into the lungs that led to complicated pulmonary events and sequelae. A detailed review of the literature will tackle the different medical aspects of this case and define the therapeutic role of bronchoscopy.
