Abstract
Airway foreign body is a common problem in infants and children. Most airway foreign bodies become lodged in the bronchi, because their size and configuration allow passage through the larynx and trachea. Larger objects become impacted in the larynx, at times causing complete obstruction, an acute emergency. Irregular foreign bodies or orientation in the sagital plane may produce only partial obstruction, allowing adequate air movement around the obstruction. Resulting laryngeal edema can lead to complete obstruction. These patients have symptoms of obstruction and hoarseness. It can mimic croup and may lead to delayed diagnosis and complications. In this report a 15 months infant is presented who had hoarseness and admitted with croup diagnosis. Patient was admitted in Tabriz hospital. In laryngoscopy, foreign body upon th right true vocal cord was removed with foceps.
