Foreign body aspiration can be a fatal problem in all groups of ages. However, it is a leading cause of accidental deaths in children. Especially in the pediatric age group, diagnosis can be delayed because of various challenges. Children younger than 3 years carry the highest risk, as they are inclined to explore objects with their mouths. In most cases of inhaled foreign body, a positive history of aspiration is obtained. We are reporting a case of laryngeal foreign body that is mistreated for 1 week as a croup syndrome.
异物吸入在所有年龄段人群中都可能是一个致命问题。然而，它是儿童意外死亡的主要原因。特别是在儿科年龄组中，由于各种挑战，诊断可能会延迟。3岁以下儿童风险最高，因为他们倾向于用嘴探索物体。在大多数吸入异物的病例中，都有明确的误吸病史。我们报告一例喉异物被误诊为哮吼综合征长达1周的病例。
