Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is more common in children than adults with about 80% occurring in children aged less than 15 years. FBA in adults is often overlooked as a potential cause of airway obstruction especially if there is no asphyxiation. We present a case of a 45-year-old male with alcohol abuse who presented with post-obstructive pneumonia secondary to aspiration of tooth of unknown duration. The tooth was removed via flexible bronchoscopy (FBr) and we will discuss the use of FBr for foreign body (FB) removal, which FB can be easily removed by FBr, and the different techniques and devices used for FB removal via FBr.
异物吸入(FBA)在儿童中比成人更常见,约80%发生在15岁以下的儿童。成人的FBA常被忽视,尤其是在没有窒息的情况下,它是气道阻塞的潜在原因。我们报告一例45岁有酒精滥用史的男性病例,该患者因不明时长的牙齿吸入继发阻塞性肺炎。通过可弯曲支气管镜(FBr)取出了牙齿,我们将讨论使用FBr取出异物(FB)的情况,哪些FB可以通过FBr轻松取出,以及通过FBr取出FB所使用的不同技术和设备。
