ABSTRACT
Children often have a habit of inhaling
or swallowing small objects around them. At the age of 8-9 months infant
develop good pincer grasp, they start picking up things around them. We present
a 8 month old male child with an impacted tracheal foreign body since 2 weeks,
due to delay in the diagnosis. Removal of foreign body was difficult with rigid
bronchoscopy inserted through the oral cavity. Bronchoscopy procedure has
various complications, and it is more so in the impacted foreign body case.
Infant who has inhaled a foreign body always pose a challenge to the
anaesthetist. Certain cases where it is difficult to remove the foreign body
with bronchoscope, removal through tracheostomy incision is indicated.
