“…Complications can vary due to the localization of the foreign body, its type, and the time until diagnosis. Prolonged fever, hemoptysis, chronic cough, recurrent lung infections, bronchiectasis, bronchial stenosis, and lung abscess are some of the possible complications [16]. When irreversible conditions such as bronchiectasis or pulmonary abscess occur, lung resection is required [17,18].…”

Background: Foreign body aspirations are rare in adults but are common in children between the ages of 0-3. Clinically, cough is the most common complaint. Delays in diagnosis can cause complications in the lower respiratory tract and lung parenchyma. This study aimed to offer a reminder that rare and unusual foreign bodies may be the cause of tracheobronchial aspiration and to present the surgical approach. Materials and Methods: Patients who were admitted to our outpatient clinic or who were referred by other clinics for foreign body aspiration between January 2012 and January 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Foreign objects such as coins, food pieces, toy pieces, and needles, which were routinely encountered, were excluded from the study. Gender, age, complaints, radiological findings, and surgical interventions were recorded. Results: There were five cases (four males, one female) under the age of 18 and three male cases above the age of 18. The average age was 21.18 ± 28.93. There was one case with laryngectomy. In six cases, the foreign body was removed by rigid bronchoscopy. Lung resection was performed in three cases (one lobectomy and one wedge resection). The foreign bodies were a pen tip, a piece of stone, a rivet from jeans, the LED of a remote control, a latch spring, a piece of a spoon, a wood piece, and a piece of a dental filling. Conclusions: Foreign body aspirations are among the most significant causes of morbidity and mortality, especially in the child age group. Diagnosis is possible through anamnesis, physical examination, and evaluation of radiological findings together. In the event of clinical suspicion, foreign body aspirations should be kept in mind regardless of age group.

“…Especially in geriatric age group, some factors like underlying neurological diseases, alcohol consumption, the usage of sedative or hypnotic drugs etc. facilitate foreign body aspiration [2,4,5]. The type of foreign bodies and incidence varies according to age, sex, and sociocultural differences.…”

“…Although foreign body aspiration can be seen in all age groups, it occurs most commonly in children. The most common foreign bodies aspirated are safety pins, food pieces and other inorganic foreign bodies in the adult age group [1,2]. The existence of tracheal stoma is an important factor that facilitates aspiration [3].…”

Tracheobronchial foreign body aspirations are the most common cause of acute respiratory obstruction and vital health problem that have to be diagnosed and managed immediately. Aspiration can lead to serious consequences up to respiratory arrest, if complete or near complete airway obstruction occurs or intervention is delayed. The existence of tracheal stoma after previous surgeries is an important factor that facilitates foreign body aspiration. In this article we present a case with total laryngectomy who aspirated roll of tissue when he tried to clean tracheal stoma. It is very important to keep in mind the
