MATHEW, Rishi P. et al. Clinical presentation, diagnosis and management of aerodigestive tract foreign bodies in the paediatric population: Part 2. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.1, pp.1-14. ISSN 2078-6778. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v25i1.2027.
Children, especially toddlers, because of their behaviour, physiology and anatomical characteristics such as oral exploration of their surroundings, have a tendency to place objects in their mouth. Therefore, ingestion or aspiration of foreign bodies (FBs) in children is a potentially life-threatening and common problem seen across the world. In this second part of our pictorial review on ingested and aspirated FBs, we focus on the paediatric population, reviewing the current literature and examining the epidemiology, clinical presentation, anatomic considerations, appropriate imaging modalities, key imaging characteristics associated with clinically relevant FBs in the emergency department (ED) and current management protocols.
