Background: Aspiration of a tracheobronchial foreign body is a serious and fatal event. Progress in terms of prevention, first aid, and endoscopic technology, caused a decline of almost 20% of deaths from foreign body aspiration that occurred in the United States. Statistically, the percentage of foreign body aspirations based on their respective location is: 5% hypopharynx, 12% larynx-trachea, and 83% bronchus. Most cases of foreign body aspiration occur in children aged <15 years old; about 75% of foreign body aspirations occur in children aged 1-3 years. The female-to-male ratio is 1.4:1. Case: A 11-year-old boy swallowed needles while playing flashlight about 2 hours before coming to Pulmonary Emergency Room of Dr. Soetomo General Hospital. Discussion: Chest X-ray examination found a shadow of metal density projected in the right lung. Fiber optic bronchoscopy (FOB) was performed for diagnostic and therapeutic indication to see the presence of a foreign body in the airway and remove the foreign body, but failed. When the needle was extracted, the patient coughed that the needle bounces to the supramaxilla area. FOB with nasal cavity approach successfully extracted the corpus alienum. Conclusion: Corpus alienum of airway sometimes is difficult to extract. FOB with nasal cavity approach can be done to manage corpus alienum in the upper airway that moved from lower airway when FOB was performed.

Background Foreign body aspiration refers to the inhalation of an object into the respiratory system and is a serious and potentially fatal event. A distinct group of patients has recently been recognized among Muslim nations. These patients include women who wear headscarves and place the safety pin in their mouth prior to securing the veils, leading to accidental foreign body aspiration. The aim of this study was to analyze the main presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of patients with scarf pin aspiration. Methods This prospective study involved patients with a history of scarf pin aspiration admitted to a single center during an 18-month period. Their main presentation, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome were analyzed. Results In total, 27 patients were included. The needle was extracted by flexible bronchoscopy in 12 (44.4%) patients, rigid bronchoscopy in 13 (48.1%), and thoracotomy in 2 (74%). One patient died during rigid bronchoscopy. All remaining 26 patients were satisfied with the postsurgical outcome at a mean follow-up of 1 week. Conclusions Scarf pin aspiration differs from other types of foreign body aspiration considering the specific population affected, and its management algorithm may thus differ from that of other foreign bodies. The left main bronchus is the most common site of pin impaction. Rigid bronchoscopy is the most commonly performed procedure for successful retrieval.
