Abstract
Inhaled foreign body (FB) is a rare clinical entity for the ENT surgeon. We present a case of an inhaled foreign body in the right main bronchus shown to move to the left main bronchus by repeat chest X-ray during a delay prior to removal. The role of repeat chest X-ray if there is a significant delay before removal of an inhaled foreign body and the optimal management are discussed.Mesh:
