  • Title: Normal radiographic findings after foreign body aspiration. When the history counts.
    Author: Musemeche CA, Kosloske AM.
    Journal: Clin Pediatr (Phila); 1986 Dec; 25(12):624-5. PubMed ID: 3780119.
    Abstract:
    Foreign body aspiration in children is frequently associated with unilateral emphysema or atelectasis on chest x-ray. Two cases are reported of tracheal or bilateral foreign bodies in which the original chest x-rays were read as normal, but the history was suggestive of the foreign body aspiration. Early bronchoscopy can prevent the long-term morbidity that results from unrecognized tracheobronchial foreign bodies.
