Abstract
RATIONALE
There are many difficult cases in the clinic because of the diversity of foreign bodies. The removal of a syringe cap is not so easy because there is always no hole at the closed end.
PATIENT CONCERNS
A 54-year-old man suddenly developed dyspnea during his treatment in the hospital.
DIAGNOSES
Foreign body in the left main bronchus.
INTERVENTIONS
The foreign body was removed using fiberoptic bronchoscope together with gastroscope biopsy forceps.
OUTCOMES
A repeat CT showed well inflation of left lung.
LESSONS
The combined use of gastroscope biopsy forceps in trachea is more conducive to remove a foreign body similar to a syringe cap.
