Abstract
Air way foreign body Aspiration (AFA) is not an unusual event in young children. Unfortunately a chocking episode is not always present or remembered by parents and normal imaging doesn’t rule out foreign body aspiration. We report a 9 month old male with laryngeal foreign body aspiration, normal CXR and chest CT, misdiagnosed as respiratory infection and bronchial asthma.
