Use of magnet powered bronchoscopy forceps in the removal of bronchial metallic foreign body in an adolescent girl

Aspiration of foreign body is defined as an entry of an object into the respiratory tract. The mainstay of treatment for removal of the foreign body is bronchoscopy. Here, we report an eleven-year-old girl who presented with accidental aspiration of right bronchial metallic foreign body, which was difficult to remove by conventional bronchoscopy forceps but ultimately removed by magnet powered forceps.
