ENDOBRONCHIAL RED HERRING- FOREIGN BODY IN A TRAUMA VICTIM
Abstract
Foreign body aspiration into the bronchus
is not an uncommon event in the
general population. It is more common in
children than in adults. The patients vary
in their presentation but they typically
present as a medical emergency. Occasionally
the event might go unnoticed
leading to later complications. Herewith
we report a case of an incidentally detected
left sided endobronchial foreign
body in an adult trauma victim which
masqueraded as a post traumatic
haemothorax.
