Abstract
Exogenous foreign body (FB) in the tracheobronchial tree is not uncommon especially in infants and children often present with respiratory obstruction that can lead to death if not removed in time. Despite public awareness and education, prevention of FB aspiration continues to a problem among children. FB inhalation is quite uncommon during conducting a surgical procedure in the oral cavity. This situation is a life threatening condition, affecting the patient and also may create a legal issue to the concerned care givers. We report a case of an endogenous bronchial foreign body in an 8year old boy who had accidentally aspirated a tooth which occurred during tooth extraction done by a medical quack. The FB was removed successfully without any complications.
