Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a potentially life-threatening emergency that most commonly occurs in children aged 1–3 years. FBA typically manifests with sudden onset of coughing and choking, followed by stridor and dyspnea. Obstruction of the larynx or trachea is a potentially life-threatening situation that causes severe respiratory distress, cyanosis, and suffocation. Most commonly, the foreign body (FB) becomes lodged in the main and intermediate bronchi; approx. 60% of FB are located in the right main bronchus due to the more vertical orientation compared to the left main bronchus. Partially obstructed airways result in the formation of a ball-valve obstruction, in which air trapping occurs in the lung segments distal to the obstruction. This focal hyperinflation of the lung segments are detectable on x-ray as hyperlucency and reduced pulmonary marking. Complete obstruction results in atelectasis distal to the FB. The FB should be removed via bronchoscopy as soon as possible. If an FBA remains undetected, it may result in chronic cough and recurrent pulmonary infections
