    AbstractBronchial foreign body inhalation is a frequent and potentially serious accident in children. It can provoke long-term complications such as bronchiectasis. These complications occur especially if the delay between inhalation and extraction is long (above 7 days) and in case of vegetal foreign body. To decrease the risk of complications, one must emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and the potential role of fiberoptic bronchoscopy to help the diagnosis in case of suspected inhalation without clinical or radiological signs. Rigid bronchoscopy is the only procedure that allows diagnosis and removal of the foreign body.
