AbstractFrom 1989-1993 we performed rigid bronchoscopies in 86 children in whom foreign body aspirations were suspected. In 72 cases, foreign bodies were identified in the tracheobronchial tree. In the remaining 14, no foreign body was found. Boys outnumbered girls. The most common type of foreign body was a peanut. The predilection of the foreign body was to fall into the right main bronchus. If the history indicated foreign body aspiration, a chest x-ray was not found to be necessary except for forensic interest.
