Spontaneous Expulsion of Inhaled Foreign Body: One Ingested and Two Out
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inhaled foreign body (FB) is one of the most problematic conditions, especially in childhood. Rapid and safe bronchoscopy removal of inhaled foreign bodies is the treatment of choice in these cases. Spontaneous expulsion of inhaled FB bronchus is rarely mentioned in the literature. We present three cases of expelled foreign bodies of which two were coughed out, and the third one went into the gastrointestinal tract. Spontaneous expulsion of inhaled FB though is rare, can save the patient and relieves the condition, but it carries a high risk of possible FB entrapment in the larynx that may lead to patient’s death.
