Abstract:
Infants with an aspirated foreign body who present with acute onset of obstructed airflow should be readily diagnosed. When aspirated foreign body is overlooked, patients may present with recurrent inspiratory, biphasic, or expiratory stridor. We report an infant who repeatedly presented with varying degrees of inspiratory stridor. The diagnosis of aspirated foreign body was hampered by the presence of respiratory syncytial virus infection with the initial episode.
