Abstract

Exogenous foreign bodies in the tracheo bronchial tree are particularly common. Complications are related to site, size, shape, nature and duration of foreign body. Foreign body aspiration is associated with significant morbidity. Awareness of these possible complications and a high index of suspicion is the key to successful management. We report a case of bronchial foreign body in a 32 year old male patient who had accidentally ingested a metallic foreign body. Foreign body was removed successfully without complications.
