Abstract

Fracture of tracheostomy tube with subsequent migration into the tracheobronchial tree is rare, but tracheobronchial foreign body in child carries the potentially fatal risk of respiratory obstruction, We report a case of a 5-year-old girl who had aspirated a fractured tracheostomy tube which was removed under rigid bronchoscope.
