Abstract
ABSTRACTInhalation of foreign body is usually seen in children which should be promptly and immediately removed otherwise it leads to complications and death. Early detection of foreign bodies is essential to safe removal. Management approach has to be systematic. Preoperative history taking, radiological assessment followed by rapid intervention by skilled bronchoscopist usually results in favorable outcome. We here report an interesting and an unusual presentation of a sharp and long iron nail in trachea and right bronchus, which was expelled spontaneously after coughing.How to cite this articleSwain SK, Mishra S, Dash M.
