Undiagnosed and retained foreign bodies may result in serious complications such as pneumonia, atelectasis, or bronchiectasis. In this report, the authors present a rare case of temporary bronchiectasis of the left lung due to a long-standing retained foreign body in a child. Interestingly, the whole left lung was affected due to the check valve type of obstruction of the main bronchus. Unexpected, unilateral findings on a chest x-ray or a CT scan could be related to an inhaled foreign body, and any delay in making the diagnosis may result in serious complications.
未诊断出和残留的异物可能导致严重并发症，如肺炎、肺不张或支气管扩张。在本报告中，作者介绍了一例罕见病例，一名儿童因长期残留异物导致左肺出现暂时性支气管扩张。有趣的是，由于主支气管的单向活瓣型阻塞，整个左肺都受到了影响。胸部X光或CT扫描出现的意外单侧发现可能与吸入异物有关，诊断的任何延迟都可能导致严重并发症。
