Abstract

The present report introduces a 66-year-old male patient who was subjected to laryngectomy surgery for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma seven months ago and he was referred for complaints regarding the metal tracheostomy tube inner cannula aspiration. The internal canula of the tracheostomy tube has been slid into the trachea during cleaning and placement for the break in its flange. He does not have any symptoms of dyspnea. An opaque object similar in shape to the tracheostomy tube was evident in the right bronchus of the patient in radiography of the patient’s chest. The object was removed using rigid bronchoscopy. Foreign body aspiration might be completely symptomless, especially in adults. Exact historical data evaluation, clinical examination and imaging findings can help accurate diagnosis and treatment of the foreign body aspirations. On-time intervention minimizes the recurrence and mortality. © 2020, Journal of Advanced Pharmacy Education & Research.
