Abstract EN

Foreign body (FB) aspiration into the tracheobronchial tree is an emergency in the pediatric department, particularly in children aged <3 years.

FB granulation tissue is commonly found in children with FB aspiration.

However, scarring in the bronchus caused by a FB is rare.

We herein report a case involving aspiration of a plastic whistle toy with scarring in the bronchus.

The scar tissue was successfully removed by interventional bronchoscopy combined with a flexible electrosurgery probe and carbon dioxide cryotherapy.
