Foreign body in the airways: a review of 90 cases.

Despite the progress made in the fields of endoscopy and anesthesia for children, as well as the accumulated experience, the inhalation of foreign bodies remains a serious and often dramatic problem.

The retroactive analysis of the documents from every case that was treated at the Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinic of the Aristotelian University from 1970 to 1975, as well as the comparative statistical study, show common characteristics shared by all 90 cases under consideration.
