Bronchial Foreign Body in an Infant: Misleading Presentation and Differential Diagnosis with Bronchiolitis – A Case Report

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) in infants is a frequent emergency, though sometimes challenging to diagnose. We report the case of an 18-month-old infant initially managed for viral bronchiolitis, in whom a diagnosis of FBA was made belatedly. This case emphasizes the importance of systematically considering FBA in any atypical or persistent respiratory distress in children.

Abstract

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) in infants is a frequent emergency, though sometimes challenging to diagnose. We report the case of an 18-month-old infant initially managed for viral bronchiolitis, in whom a diagnosis of FBA was made belatedly. This case emphasizes the importance of systematically considering FBA in any atypical or persistent respiratory distress in children.
