Laryngeal Foreıgn Body Mıstreated As Recurrent Laryngıtıs And Croup For 1 YearŞeşen T., Ünal R., Atmaca S., Ünal A., Kılıçarslan H.Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a common, dangerous problem among the children of all ages. Laryngeal foreign bodies may present with less severe symptoms compared to lower respiratory tract foreign bodies resulting in misdiagnosis, confusion and delay. We present the case of a 20-month-old girl with laryngeal foreign body unrecognized for 1 year. She was treated for recurrent laryngitis and infectious croup several times. Triangular shaped, red plastic material with sharp edges was removed from larynx by direct laryngoscopy. The clinical presentation and management are discussed.
