| Summary: | Foreign body aspiration is uncommon in adults who have no known risk factors such as mental retardation, poor
dentition, or advanced age. Adults with foreign body aspiration are commonly misdiagnosed with bronchial asthma,
however, does not respond to standard bronchodilator treatment. A thorough history-taking, focused physical examination and a high index of suspicion is crucial in making the correct diagnosis. This paper reports an interesting
case of a 41- year-old woman with an undetected 10-year long foreign body aspiration which was misdiagnosed as
bronchial asthma. |
