“…Amongst organic foreign body aspirated are nuts or seeds, corn kernel, vegetable matter and bones while regular inorganic foreign body retrieved are dental material, denture fragments, plastic pieces, pills or even nasal ring as reported in one article. (Al-Majed et al, 1997;Castillo-Latorre et al, 2021;Dikensoy et al, 2002;James et al, 2006;Jawarkar et al, 2016;Palasamudram Shekar et al, 2018;Swanson et al, 2003). Clinical presentation for FBA varies according to the level of obstruction and depends on either acute or chronic occurrence.…”

Aspiration of foreign body among adult usually occur in geriatric populations and those with impaired airway reflexes from a neurologic abnormality, altered mental status resulting from sedative or alcohol use, or trauma with decreased levels of consciousness. Symptoms are usually acute requiring prompt intervention. Longstanding neglected foreign body aspiration can cause irreversible damage to the lung parenchyma and respiratory tract with residual respiratory sequalae. Here we present a rare case of a healthy lady who experience chronic productive cough and recurrent chest infections due to neglected foreign body aspiration leading to irreversible cystic bronchiectasis of the lung.

Bronchiectasis is a well-known entity where the airways abnormally dilate losing their natural function. Most common causes of non-cytic fibrosis bronchiectasis in the middle age group include secondary immunodeficiency, aspiration, and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). Obstructive foreign body is an uncommon cause of bronchiectasis and is often a missed diagnosis in a localized disease. Foreign bodies can be missed making the diagnosis and treatment more challenging and hence foreign body bronchiectasis should be considered in patients presenting with focal disease. Here we describe a patient with a retained foreign body that was discovered post lobectomy during gross pathological examination of the specimen with no significant aspiration history, non-diagnostic imaging of the chest and negative bronchoscopy.

“…Bronchiectasis is the most frequent complication in tracheobronchial foreign body aspirations in the late period (3). The incidence of bronchiectasis due to foreign bodies settled in airways was reported in a range between 1% and 5.6% in the literature (19,20). Bronchiectasis may be a reversible form the so-called pseudo-bronchiectasis or an irreversible form.…”
