“…The literature has reported involvement of interventional cardiologist during recovery for a peripherally lodged airway FB (Thatte et al 2014 ). An inaccessible airway FB can ultimately results in chest open surgery (Harischandra et al 2009 ). FB cases in the child should be managed with a multidisciplinary approach.…”

BackgroundThough foreign body (FB) aspiration or ingestion is not uncommon in children, a straight pin as the culprit FB is rarely seen. The nature of such a FB makes it sometimes difficult to diagnose and deal with, especially in children.Case reportHere we present such a case who was initially misdiagnosed with FB ingestion but turned out to be an aspiration case. Moreover, its remote location from the hilum made a more invasive surgical retrieval inevitable. A thoracotomy was finally performed to retrieve the pin. And the postoperative course was uneventful.ConclusionFor pediatric FB cases, especially in such a case, it is very important to diagnose timely and accurately. A multidisciplinary team approach would facilitate prompt and accurate diagnosis and potentially simplify treatment.

Introduction: Foreign body aspiration is an emergency condition in children, which can lead to death. Most these foreign bodies are usually removed by bronchoscopy. Straight needle aspiration is a rare condition. Sometimes, there are some difficulties in diagnosis and management of this type of foreign body, especially in children. Case Presentation: We report a case of a needle aspiration. Conclusions: For intraoperative localization of foreign body, the C-arm device may be used before broncheotomy to decrease morbidity of the patient.
