Abstract

The case of a two-year-old child with foreign body aspiration is presented. It was complicated by a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Lung scan was helpful in eventually establishing the diagnosis. Key points in the management of patients with foreign body aspiration are reviewed and pathophysiologic mechanisms are discussed.
