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.
