Abstract

Foreign body (FB) aspiration is a rare event in adults and can mimic other pathologies such as refractory asthma. Most of the objects can be removed using a bronchoscope. Herein, we present a unique case of aspiration of a FB stocked between vocal cords for one week and the anesthetic considerations.
