Article Synopsis
- Foreign body aspiration in adults is rare but can be mistaken for chronic respiratory issues like asthma, leading to misdiagnoses and treatment delays.
- A case series of four patients revealed that all had chronic cough but were later found to have aspirated foreign bodies, with three cases involving vegetative matter missed by CT scans and identified through bronchoscopy.
- The study highlights the effectiveness of flexible bronchoscopy in diagnosing and removing aspirated objects, emphasizing the need for a careful clinical assessment and prompt intervention to avoid severe complications.
