ABSTRACT:
Foreign bodies [FB] in the bronchus are important causes of morbidity and
mortality in paediatric age group and pose diagnostic and therapeutic
challenges. Inert and smooth foreign bodies are prone for migration from one
side to other due to minimal inflammatory process and easy mobility. Herein we
are reporting a case of electric bulb aspiration which migrated from right main
bronchus to left main bronchus.
