Abstract EN

A foreign body in the larynx is an airway emergency that requires urgent evaluation and treatment.

Irregular foreign bodies tend to orient in a sagittal plane and may produce only partial obstruction, allowing adequate air movement, hence making them undetectable for a long period of time.

We report a case of a laryngotracheal foreign body that remained reclusive for 9 years.
