“…Grasping the FB, pulling it out together with the instrument and reintubation of the patient, was the only possible option in the patient. In this situation, even the combination of the endotracheal tube and flexible bronchoscopy, as previously reported [7], should not contribute to the safety of the procedure, as compared to the selected method.…”

“…The second lesson of the first instance is very instructive: unless the sharp, curved part of the sharp metallic hook is clearly visible within the bronchus, as it was not the case, bronchoscopic extraction can be cautiously attempted by applying some maneuvers as previously described [7]. However, it should not be repeated in case of failure because of the high likelihood of the major airway injury.…”

In a mentally disabled adolescent, bronchoscopic extraction failure of a metallic foreign body from the left main bronchus was followed by mediastinal emphysema. At thoracotomy, a part of the metallic hook was found to protrude through the main bronchus, just by the descending aorta. The foreign body was removed and the bronchus sutured. After the thoracotomy closure, laparotomy was performed with removal of metallic pieces from the stomach. After three years, a repeated metallic foreign body aspiration as confirmed by the chest radiography ensued, with metallic pieces in the bowels as well. With the surgical team on site, rigid bronchoscopy was done and the foreign body extracted from the intermediate bronchus. Metallic pieces left the digestive tract spontaneously after a few days. In conclusion, the appropriate preoperative workup and timing for surgery are essential for the treatment outcome of this life-threatening condition; because of the high likelihood of the major airway injury, such procedures should be done with a surgical team available whenever possible.

“…Only 20% of FBA cases are patients above the age of 15 [ 10 ]. Aspirated foreign bodies can be classified into organic bodies like food, nuts or seeds aspirated due to incomplete chewing of substances, and inorganic bodies like nails or pins [ 12 , 13 ]. Dental prosthetics and procedures are considered the second most common leading cause of FBA after food; they represent up to 27.7% of this event's causes [ 14 ].…”

Introduction and importance Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is more frequently presented in children and considered a rare presentation in adults. One of the most common causes of FBA in adults are orthodontic appliances. Case presentation We present a case of a 70-year-old male with an accidently discovered fixed partial denture (bridge) in the right mainstem bronchus. The partial denture was removed successfully by flexible bronchoscopy. Clinical discussion FBA is an event that most frequently occurs with children, and rarely with adults having various risk factors and complications on patients. Conclusion This study aims to spotlight the danger of asymptomatic FBA and how retrieving sharp objects can be managed by flexible bronchoscopy thus leading to better management and increased awareness of such cases.

“…It represents 44.83% of FB of respiratory tract in Senegal [1]. Its occurrence is rare among adults, affecting adults who are unable to protect the airway such as those mentally impaired, under alcoholism, and elderly and persons with psychoses and neurological disorders [2, 5, 6]. …”

The accidental aspiration of a foreign body is a frequent domestic accident among children but a rare occurrence in adults. The laryngeal impaction of a coin is an unusual accident; only a few cases have been reported in the literature. Diagnosis is mostly achieved by clinicoradiological examinations. The authors report an uncommon case of laryngeal impaction of a coin in a 21-year-old patient, presenting with dysphonia without dyspnea or stridor. The extraction was performed by endoscopy.
