Foreign Body Swallows in Pediatrics

Foreign Body Ingestion (FBI) is a common clinical emergency in children. Most FBs smoothly pass through the digestive tract without complications; nevertheless, some FBs can cause severe morbidity and mortality. The current work aimed at evaluating how FBI can cause respiratory distress and stridor as well as their severity according to age, gender, lodgment site, and type of the object. Factors influencing morbidity and mortality among studied patients will be deliberated as well.
