Foreign body aspiration is unusual in adults, except those who are debilitated or have neuropsychiatric disorders. It can be a life-threatening situation and it often requires a high index of suspicion, because the diagnosis can be obscure. Prompt diagnosis and intervention through foreign body retrieval are critical to prevent significant morbidity and mortality. We present a case of denture aspiration by a debilitated 90 years old man. He had aspirated his complete upper denture to pharynx causing incomplete obstruction with pleasure whistling respiratory sound, dyspnea, dysphagia and dysphonia. He underwent successful retrieval of the dental plate manually by fingers with complete resolution of symptoms.
成人异物吸入并不常见，衰弱或患有神经精神疾病者除外。这可能是一种危及生命的情况，通常需要高度怀疑，因为诊断可能不明确。通过取出异物进行及时诊断和干预对于预防严重的发病率和死亡率至关重要。我们报告一例90岁衰弱男性吸入假牙的病例。他将完整的上假牙吸入咽部，导致不完全梗阻，伴有愉悦的吹口哨样呼吸音、呼吸困难、吞咽困难和发音障碍。通过手指手动成功取出假牙，症状完全缓解。
