Abstract

We present a case of foreign body aspiration, the diagnosis of which was delayed until one and a half month after the event. Usually foreign body aspiration leads to acute symptoms, but these may be absent, especially in elderly patients, which delays and complicates diagnosis. Late complications such as pneumonia and atelectasis may be fatal, predominantly in the elderly population. Therefore, a chest x-ray should be performed on suspicion of foreign body aspiration.
