Case Series of Incidentally Found Chronic Airway Foreign Bodies: A Single‐Center Experience

Puntos clave

The aim is to explore the occurrence of unintentionally found airway foreign bodies in adults and older children.
Case series of eight patients undergoing endoscopic evaluation
Indications included chronic cough, nonresolving pneumonia, and suspected malignancy
Incidental findings of foreign bodies during standard procedures
Eight cases of airway foreign bodies were identified incidentally
Prompt management was emphasized to avoid complications
The need for heightened awareness of foreign body aspiration was highlighted

Resumen

Foreign body aspiration among adults and older children could be more common than previously documented. We present below eight cases of incidentally found airway foreign bodies (FB) during endoscopic evaluation of patients performed due to various indications such as chronic cough, nonresolving pneumonia and suspected malignancy, among others. A high index of suspicion and prompt management are required to prevent morbidity and complications associated with long-standing airway FB.
