Abstract
Abstracts: Aspiration of tracheobronchial foreign commonly affects young children and it is uncommon in adults. Bronchoscopy both flexible and rigid is recommended to reveal the aetiology and therapeutic removal of foreign body aspiration. Here we report a case of pill aspiration presenting with acute onset breathlessness in emergency. Investigation of a case revealed left lung atelectasis on chest X-ray. Further workup by bronchoscopy showed an endobronchial mass lesion in left main bronchus causing left lung atelectasis. The obstruction was removed and patient improved promptly.
