TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Subglottic chicken bone in a five month old baby JO - JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association A1 - Prakash, S. A1 - Bhusal, C. L. A1 - Acharya, K. A1 - Sinha, B. K. SP - 170 EP - 172 VL - 48 IS - 174 N2 - Foreign body aspiration most commonly affects young children, with respiratory symptoms such as wheeze and cough after a choking episode. When the foreign body is first inhaled as per witnessed by the parents or caregiver there is always choking or gaging episode, followed by a coughing spell. The absence of a cough strongly rules out the possibility of foreign body having entered the air passage. Here we report a case of chicken bone inhaled as foreign body in a five months old baby.
