Abstract

In this study, three pediatric cases of foreign body aspiration are presented. They all presented with severe respiratory symptoms and rigid bronchoscopy was performed to evaluate the endobronchial tree. All of them had more than one foreign body in their bronchial tree. Two of them recovered after bronchoscopy and one recovered after surgery for the complications of foreign body aspiration. Foreign body aspiration should be considered in patients with severe distress and careful bronchoscopic examination should be carried out.
