Foreign body aspiration is potentially life-threatening condition. Delayed extraction using rigid bronchoscopy can lead to serious morbidity.

Authors present a rare case of repeated and complicated bronchoscopic extraction peanut in a 2-year old boy who presented with

acute respiratory distress after a history of their aspiration 14 hours earlier. Bronchial foreign bodies were finally removed during the

second bronchoscopy, prolonged removal foreign bodies during initial bronchoscopy was complicated with severe laryngeal edema,

arterial desaturation and respiratory insufficiency.

Keywords: foreign body, children, rigid bronchoscopy, complications
