Abstract
ABSTRACT
Foreign body impaction in the airway poses a great challenge of management to any Laryngology facility. Prompt localization of the foreign body and its endoscopic removal are the panacea for the successful extraction of the foreign body
Tracheobronchial foreign bodies depending on their size and site of initial impaction can migrate to other locations in the tracheobronchial tree making their identification and subsequent extraction more challenging for the endoscopist.
We present here and review the literature on three cases that throw up such challenges that were successfully managed by the authors to highlight this. Serial radiograph can be useful in the management of such cases especially if delay occurred in its extraction after initial radiograph assessment.
