Tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration is a common and lifethreatening problem in childhood and adulthood and an important cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. Recurrent respiratory tract infections may be due to foreign body aspiration. Aspirates includes frequently; toys, coins, beans, nuts, peanut, kernel, dried legumes, and sugars in children and; food, awn, turban pins, metallic objects and dental prosthesis in the adults, respectively. If foreign body aspiration may caused to complete or nearly total occlusion, in this time the object have to be removed urgently. Although flexible bronchoscopy can be used to remove of foreign bodies in children and adults, rigid bronchoscopy remains the gold standard all the time.
