Introduction: Foreign body aspiration, which is especially seen in children, is a life treathening emergency condition. Case: A fifteen year-old male patient who had been delayed for diagnosis of foreign body aspiraton was presented. In this case, long term complications of foreign body aspiraton, such as bronchiectasis, bronchopleural fistula and empyema were seen. Discussion: In the acute period, clinical findings of tracheobronchial foreign bodies can vary from simple cough to sudden death. Atelectasis, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, lung abscess and bronchopleural fistulas are common and serious complications of the chronic period. When symptoms and radiological findings are indistinct, exact diagnosis can not be made and life threatening complications may be seen.Keywords: Foreign Bodies, Aspirations, Child, Bronchial FistulaTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2003, 23:53-55
