Concealed Foreign Body Aspiration: A Master of Disguise
Pravin Sugunan1, Netia Jeganathan2, Philip Rajan Devesahayam3.
Aspiration of a foreign body is rare in school-age children. This reports the 21-day journey of an 8-year-old girl who had a foreign body aspiration. She presented to our hospital after five days of respiratory distress. She subsequently required mechanical ventilation and was supported with triple inotropes. After 18 days, a foreign body was removed via rigid bronchoscopy, followed by a rapid recovery of the patient.
