Aspiration of a foreign body is a recognized cause of accidental death in children. Paediatricians are aware of the symptoms of inhaled foreign bodies in the lower respiratory tract. However, symptoms which suggest impaction in the larynx do not appear to raise the same index of suspicion of a foreign body. One case of laryngeal foreign body is described with a delay in diagnosis of five days. The clinical presentation, investigations and management are discussed.
异物吸入是儿童意外死亡的一个公认原因。儿科医生了解下呼吸道吸入异物的症状。然而，提示异物嵌顿在喉部的症状似乎并未引起对异物的同样怀疑指数。本文描述了一例喉部异物病例，诊断延迟了五天。并对临床表现、检查及处理进行了讨论。
