ABSTRACT
Inhalation of a foreign body into the repiratory tract is somtimes frequent in children, and shows atelectatic or emphysematous pulmonary conditions. Inhalation of foreign body is more common in the younger than 3 years old, and left bronchus is more involved than right at younger than 7 years old. Airway foreign body is regarded as life threatening condition and requires emergent treatment for example bronchoscopie removal, although most foreign bodies are successfully removed without any severe cardiopulmonary complications.
Recently, we have experienced 3 year-old-boy who developed acute reexpansion pulmonary edema after removal of bronchial foreign body (chewing gum), and treated that patient with immediate respiratory supportive care and recovered completely without any sequelae.
