Light emitting diode bulb aspiration in children: a rare entity

Foreign body aspiration is a life threatening emergency in children. Different types of foreign bodies are aspirated and reported in literature but light emitting diode (LED) bulb is an unusual cause of foreign body aspiration. Rigid bronchoscopy is gold standard for treatment of foreign body aspiration. We wish to present a case of 9 years old male child with LED bulb aspiration which was retrieved with rigid bronchoscopy.
