The incidence of foreign body aspiration is getting more common among women in Islamic countries because Islamic faith requires them to cover their hair with a head scarf which needs to be attached with a pin. This pin has a coloured plastic little ball on the top and it is longer than the normal pins. In recent years, aspiration of this pin has been very frequent among young women causing severe medical problems.
A young woman applied to our clinic with the same problem. On the postero-anterior chest roentgenogram of this patients, bilaterally placed two metallic foreign bodies were seen in the traceobronchial tree. Contrary to the common belief, flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope (FFB) was used for the removal of these foreign bodies.
This case report shows that bilateral and peripheric foreign bodies in the tracheabranchial tree can be removed by using flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope under the local anesthesia without any complications.
