Foreign bodies in the aerodigestive tract continue to be a common problem that contribute significantly to high morbidity and mortality all over the world. Laryngeal foreign bodies may present with less severe symptoms compared with lower respiratory tract foreign bodies, resulting in misdiagnosis, confusion and delay in diagnosis. Rigid endoscopy with forceps removal under general anaesthesia is the preferred management modality. This case is described to show the importance of a detailed history and examination including X-ray neck in children to rule out any radiopaque laryngeal foreign body as a delay in diagnosis and management can lead to life-threatening complications.
气道消化道异物仍然是一个常见问题，在全球范围内导致了很高的发病率和死亡率。与下呼吸道异物相比，喉部异物的症状可能不那么严重，从而导致误诊、混淆和诊断延误。全身麻醉下用镊子取出的硬质内镜检查是首选的治疗方式。描述该病例是为了说明详细病史和检查（包括儿童颈部X线检查）对于排除任何不透射线的喉部异物的重要性，因为诊断和治疗的延迟可能导致危及生命的并发症。
