Abstract
Seventeen children presenting with airway obstruction have been studied to highlight the similar clinical features of different etiological conditions, their diagnostic limitations, and the importance of early bronchoscopy. There were 8 patients with foreign body in lower airway, out of which 6 were vegetable foreign bodies. Few rarer conditions like membranous laryngotracheobronchitis, subglottic hemangioma and acyanotic congenital heart disease producing airway obstruction have been highlighted. There were 2 deaths in the study unrelated to endoscopic procedure.
