Abstract

Foreign body aspiration into the tracheobronchial system, which is more common in children than adults, can have serious consequences, leading even to mortality and morbidity, and may be diagnosed only after a delay. A foreign body was detected dur- ing a flexible bronchoscopy due to stenosis in the left main bronchus in the chest computed tomography of a 59-year-old female patient being followed up for asthma. A cinnamon stick identified in the left main bronchus was removed with rigid bronchoscopy, revealing the asthma to be a misdiagnosis.

Özet

Trakeobronşiyal sisteme yabancı cisim aspirasyonu, çocuklarda erişkinlere göre daha sık görülen, ciddi sonuçlara ve hatta mortalite ve morbiditeye neden olabilen, tanıda gecikme yaşanılan bir durumdur. Astım nedeni ile takip edilen 59 yaşındaki kadın has- tanın akciğer bilgisayarlı tomografisinde sol ana bronşta daralma olması nedeni ile yapılan fleksible bronkoskopide yabancı cisim saptanmıştır. Hastaya yanlışlıkla astım tanısı konmuştu.
