Foreign body aspiration is the cause of a frequent respiratory failure in childhood. When diagnosed late, it can lead to life-threatening situations. Clinical complaints and physical examination findings can easily be reviewed in the diagnosis as they make clinical tables similar to upper and lower airway infections. A 15-month-old male patient applied to our emergency service with a sudden breathing disorder. Physical examination finds that the patient who thought of upper respiratory blockage was initially applied nebula therapy. In the computational tomography of the drawn throat and in the first laringoscopic examination, the patient’s follow-up and treatment continued to be placed in our child’s intensive care unit. The patient who first responded well to the treatment but with the reduction of the treatment, the complaints increased again, the second laryngoscopic examination was carried out and a foreign body was found in the larynx. The patient's complaints of the body removed under the operational conditions were completely retarded. Foreign bodies aspirations are the most common in childhood, leading to sudden respiratory failure, clinical findings and imitating the causes of upper and lower respiratory blocks or infection, and easy diagnosis with careful examination.
