Summary

Diagnosing aspirated foreign bodies in infants is crucial for acute airway obstruction. Delayed diagnosis can lead to persistent stridor, as seen in an infant whose symptoms were masked by respiratory syncytial virus infection.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Pulmonology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Aspiration of foreign bodies in infants can cause acute airway obstruction.
  • Overlooked foreign bodies may manifest as recurrent stridor, complicating diagnosis.
  • Respiratory syncytial virus infection can mimic or obscure symptoms of aspirated foreign bodies.

Observation:

  • An infant presented with recurrent inspiratory stridor.
  • The initial presentation was complicated by a respiratory syncytial virus infection.

Findings:

  • The diagnosis of an aspirated foreign body was delayed.
  • The stridor varied in severity, potentially masking the underlying cause.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering aspirated foreign bodies in infants with stridor, even with concurrent viral infections.
