A young adult successfully had a large foreign body removed from their right main bronchus via rigid bronchoscopy. This case highlights successful foreign body removal despite delayed presentation and lack of aspiration recall.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Medical Devices
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Foreign body aspiration in adults is uncommon but can lead to serious respiratory complications.
  • Delayed diagnosis is often associated with a lack of clear aspiration history.
  • The right main bronchus is a common site for aspirated foreign bodies.

Observation:

  • A young adult presented with a foreign body lodged in the right main bronchus.
  • The object had been present for at least 5 days.
  • The patient had no recollection of aspirating the foreign body, despite its size and shape.

Findings:

  • Successful retrieval of the foreign body was achieved using rigid bronchoscopy.
  • The procedure was performed without immediate complications.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Histopathological analysis of the foreign body is pending.

    • Implications:

    • Rigid bronchoscopy is an effective and safe method for removing large bronchial foreign bodies.
    • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for foreign body aspiration in adults, even without a clear history.
    • Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial to prevent long-term sequelae such as post-obstructive pneumonia or bronchiectasis.
