Abstract

Foreign body (FB) aspiration is a life-threatening medical emergency that usually presents with a history of choking episodes, followed by cough and shortness of breath. However, when the signs and symptoms are subtle, they can be easily missed by the parents or the child, causing delays in the diagnosis and management, suspecting other respiratory illnesses. Here, we report an eight years old neurologically stable girl without a history of choking episodes, with only subtle respiratory symptoms, with a candy wrapper stuck in the left bronchus missed by X-ray and computer tomography (CT)- scan of the chest and diagnosed and removed by flexible bronchoscopy.

病例报告：糖果包装纸吸入的罕见病例

异物吸入（FB）是一种危及生命的急症，通常表现为呛咳、咳嗽和呼吸急促。然而，当症状和体征不明显时，很容易被家长或患儿遗漏，导致诊断和处理延误，怀疑患上其他呼吸道疾病。在此，我们报告了一名神经系统稳定的八岁女孩，她没有窒息病史，仅有轻微的呼吸道症状，X射线和胸部计算机断层扫描（CT）漏诊了左侧支气管卡住的糖果包装纸，经柔性支气管镜检查后确诊并取出了糖果包装纸。

期刊介绍： Wellcome Open Research publishes scholarly articles reporting any basic scientific, translational and clinical research that has been funded (or co-funded) by Wellcome. Each publication must have at least one author who has been, or still is, a recipient of a Wellcome grant. Articles must be original (not duplications). All research, including clinical trials, systematic reviews, software tools, method articles, and many others, is welcome and will be published irrespective of the perceived level of interest or novelty; confirmatory and negative results, as well as null studies are all suitable. See the full list of article types here. All articles are published using a fully transparent, author-driven model: the authors are solely responsible for the content of their article. Invited peer review takes place openly after publication, and the authors play a crucial role in ensuring that the article is peer-reviewed by independent experts in a timely manner. Articles that pass peer review will be indexed in PubMed and elsewhere. Wellcome Open Research is an Open Research platform: all articles are published open access; the publishing and peer-review processes are fully transparent; and authors are asked to include detailed descriptions of methods and to provide full and easy access to source data underlying the results to improve reproducibility.
