Akciðerdeki yabancý cisimlerin tanýsý zor olabilmek-tedir. Bunlar tanýda karýþýklýða yol açýp beklenmedik semptomlara da neden olabilirler. Solunum fonksi-yon testi (SFT), bazý artefaktlardan dolayý yanýltýcý olsa da, bir ana bronþtaki obstrüksiyonun ipucunu bazen bizlere verebilmektedir. SFT sonrasý bronkoskopi endikasyonu koyduðumuz ve trakeobronþial aðaçta beklenmedik bir yabancý cisim saptadýðýmýz olguyu sunuyoruz.

Foreign bodies in the lung can be difficult to diagnose. They may result in unusual symptoms leading to confusion about the diagnosis. Spirometry can sometimes provide a clue to a mainstem obstruction, although it may be compromised by artifacts. Herein, we present a case of an unusual foreign body within the tracheobronchial tree, for which spirometry provided the indication for bronchoscopy.

Keywords: Foreign body, spirometry, bronchoscopy
