Rationale:
There are many difficult cases in the clinic because of the diversity of foreign bodies. The removal of a syringe cap is not so easy because there is always no hole at the closed end.
Patient Concerns:
A 54-year-old man suddenly developed dyspnea during his treatment in the hospital.
Diagnoses:
Foreign body in the left main bronchus.
Interventions:
The foreign body was removed using fiberoptic bronchoscope together with gastroscope biopsy forceps.
Outcomes:
A repeat CT showed well inflation of left lung.
Lessons:
The combined use of gastroscope biopsy forceps in trachea is more conducive to remove a foreign body similar to a syringe cap.
