Main Stem Bronchus

The Case
 A one-year old male infant was admitted
to Sulaymaniyah Teaching Hospital,
Sulaymaniyah, Iraq on 15th of July 2008
because of unresolved cough and
shortness of breath (SOB) of one-month
duration. Chest exam and CXR were
unremarkable, however, foreign body (FB)
inhalation was highly suspected, thus rigid
bronchoscopy was decided. It revealed a
seed in the left main stem bronchus. After
extraction of the seed, the child smoothly
recovered. 2

Comment
Unresolved cough in a child i.e. a
cough that doesn’t resolve after
one month despite a proper
medical treatment should raise
the suspicion of foreign body (FB)
inhalation and deserves a
diagnostic rigid bronchoscopy.
