Bronchial Foreign Body in an Infant: Misleading Presentation and Differential Diagnosis with Bronchiolitis – A Case Report
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Foreign body aspiration (FBA) in infants is a frequent emergency, though sometimes challenging to diagnose. We report the case of an 18-month-old infant initially managed for viral bronchiolitis, in whom a diagnosis of FBA was made belatedly. This case emphasizes the importance of systematically considering FBA in any atypical or persistent respiratory distress in children.
