Abstract
Tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration is a common, but often unobserved event in children. A delay in diagnosis can lead to difficulty in removal of the aspirated object. The present case report highlights a special intraoperative maneuver at thoracotomy that was adopted to remove an impacted foreign body that could not be removed at bronchoscopy.
