ABSTRACT
Key clinical message The recurrence of respiratory symptoms without a clear clinical reason in children can be secondary to the presence of an unknown foreign body of the airways. In such cases, endoscopy of the airways is always necessary, regardless of the patient's age. Abstract The management of foreign bodies of the pediatric airway can be challenging. The clinical presentation may vary and, in case of recurrent respiratory symptoms without a clear clinical cause, the presence of a foreign body of the airway should be suspected. We describe the case of a 13-month-old patient, weight 11 kg, with a misdiagnosed subglottic foreign body causing dysphonia and worsening respiratory distress, removed by means of a direct laryngotracheoscopy in tubeless general anesthesia in spontaneous breathing.
