Abstract
Aspiration of foreign bodies into the tracheobronchial tree is much commoner in children than in adults, but often occur in adult with underlying disease. We report two cases of bronchial foreign body aspirations in adult with neurogical disorder. In case I with acute subdural hernatoma, foreign object was a false tooth and in case II with supranucleal palsy, was a chicken. Both foreign bodies were impacted in the trunchus intermedius and were removed with curette, snear loop and basket forceps through bronchofiberscopy. Therefore, we adovocate that in the patient with neurogical disorders, the physician should take care of aspiration and in order to remove foreign bodiese immediately, a set of various forceps should be prepared.
