Summary:Tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration in children represents a diagnostic and therapeutic emergency in the practice of pediatricians and ENT specialists. Delaying the diagnostic and, implicitly, the bronchoscopic extraction of the foreign body can lead to complications, some even with vital prognosis. In this paper, the authors present from their personal experience two pediatric cases of tracheobronchial foreign bodies diagnosed and treated at different time intervals after the moment of aspiration.
