AbstractForeign body aspiration is a frequent cause of hospitalization in pediatric ENT units. Pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema are possible complications of tracheobronchoscopy with foreign body removal, but it is rare, that the foreign body causes the complications itself. The authors present a very rare case of a soft bronchial foreign body aspiration in a child with such complications.
