We report an unusual case of acute upper airway obstruction. Inhalation of a foreign body caused choking in a 5-yr-old child, but subsequent investigations revealed a large anterior mediastinal tumour, externally compressing the trachea and the main bronchi. Such a presentation may be deceptive and is important, as general anaesthesia may result in complete airway obstruction with fatal consequences.
我们报告了一例罕见的急性上呼吸道梗阻病例。一名5岁儿童因吸入异物而窒息，但随后的检查发现一个巨大的前纵隔肿瘤，向外压迫气管和主支气管。这种表现可能具有欺骗性，且很重要，因为全身麻醉可能导致完全气道梗阻并产生致命后果。
