Role of Unilateral Vocal Cord Palsy in Causing Recurrent Tracheobronchial Foreign Bodies

Background: Foreign body (FB) aspiration in children is a frequent condition managed by ENT pediatric surgeons and pediatric pulmonologists. Methods: We present the case of a 20-months-old child who presented with three recurrent episodes of FB aspiration. Results: At the time of FB removal, an init...

Sumario:Background: Foreign body (FB) aspiration in children is a frequent condition managed by ENT pediatric surgeons and pediatric pulmonologists. Methods: We present the case of a 20-months-old child who presented with three recurrent episodes of FB aspiration. Results: At the time of FB removal, an initial dynamic examination of the larynx revealed a unilateral vocal cord palsy (UVCP). Conclusion: For recurrent tracheobronchial FB inhalation, we recommend a systematic dynamic airway endoscopy.
