Foreign body (FB) aspiration is a life-threatening medical emergency that usually presents with a history of choking episodes, followed by cough and shortness of breath. However, when the signs and symptoms are subtle, they can be easily missed by the parents or the child, causing delays in the diagnosis and management, suspecting other respiratory illnesses. Here, we report an eight years old neurologically stable girl without a history of choking episodes, with only subtle respiratory symptoms, with a candy wrapper stuck in the left bronchus missed by X-ray and computer tomography (CT)- scan of the chest and diagnosed and removed by flexible bronchoscopy.
异物吸入是一种危及生命的医疗紧急情况，通常表现为有窒息发作史，随后出现咳嗽和呼吸急促。然而，当体征和症状不明显时，父母或孩子很容易忽略，从而导致诊断和治疗延迟，误诊为其他呼吸道疾病。在此，我们报告一名8岁神经功能稳定的女孩，无窒息发作史，仅有轻微呼吸道症状，胸部X线和计算机断层扫描（CT）未发现左支气管内有糖果包装纸，最终通过纤维支气管镜检查确诊并取出。
