This case report describes a 7-year-old boy who avulsed and inhaled a primary maxillary incisor. Over the next number of weeks, he developed a persistent, productive cough, which was unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. Radiographic examination revealed a small radiopaque tooth-shaped object in the right hilar lung region. The aspirated tooth was subsequently successfully removed by bronchoscopy under general anaesthetic. Despite the delay in diagnosis, there was an excellent outcome following removal of the aspirated tooth.
本病例报告描述了一名7岁男孩，他的上颌乳切牙被撕脱并吸入。在接下来的几周里，他出现了持续的、咳痰性咳嗽，抗生素治疗无效。影像学检查显示右肺门区有一个小的不透射线的牙齿状物体。随后在全身麻醉下通过支气管镜成功取出了吸入的牙齿。尽管诊断有所延迟，但取出吸入的牙齿后预后良好。
