Airway foreign bodies are common in children, and usually present as emergencies. However, they may sometimes present late, due to a number of reasons. Chronic lodgement of foreign bodies in trachea is rarer than that in bronchial tree. Flexible and rigid bronchoscopies have revolutionized the management of foreign bodies at large. Here, we report a successful bronchoscopic management of an unusual foreign body residing in the trachea of a patient for 15 years.
气道异物在儿童中很常见，通常表现为急症。然而，由于多种原因，它们有时可能出现较晚。异物长期滞留在气管比滞留在支气管树中更为罕见。软性和硬性支气管镜检查彻底改变了异物的整体处理方式。在此，我们报告一例成功通过支气管镜处理一名患者气管内异常滞留达15年之久异物的病例。
