The absence of history of choking does not rule out the diagnosis. Diagnosis required high index of suspicion. Case Presentation: Undiagnosed foreign body aspiration mostly occurs in bronchial airway rather than larynx and can cause severe complications. In this article, we report a silent laryngeal foreign body aspiration to show that careful history taking and accurate evaluation of radiography are important factors for diagnosis. Conclusions: The single most significant factor leading to detect of tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration is a high index of suspicion; this case highlights the possibility of a foreign body in the airway in patients who presents with a recent onset of chronic respiratory complaints.}, keywords = {Respiratory Aspiration,Foreign body,Larynx,laryngeal,Foreign Bodies,Laryngoscopy}, url = {https://www.traumamon.com/article_99933.html}, eprint = {https://www.traumamon.com/article_99933_2d358f1c7310f0d350f3d368abdfaac4.pdf} }
