The problem of foreign bodies in air and food passages is one of the commonest and most frequently encountered in the daily ENT practice. By air and food passages it is meant, laryngotracheobronchial tree and oesophagus alone. It is particularly significant since such accidents due to inhalation or ingestion of foreign bodies continue to take formidable toll of lives every year. It is mostly accidental; and negligence on the part of the patient is the major contributing factor for the lodgement of foreign bodies in air and food passages. Because of the impending danger of complications, they have to be attended to as emergencies. Endoscopic removal of foreign body or visualisation of the tract cannot be substituted for any other methods of examination.
