Abstract

Tracheobronchial foreign body (FB) aspiration to date has been described in terms of types of FB, their myriad of presentations, diagnostic evaluation, tools, and techniques for their management in various case reports and systematic reviews. However, FB extraction in some cases may be difficult due to the nature of FB, the clinical state of the patient, the unavailability of adequate tools, and the surrounding tissue response to FB. We would like to bring out the terminology of complex FB to describe the above-mentioned scenarios. In the following paper, we have enumerated one such case of complex FB based on its nature and its subsequent management.
