title: [Endoscopic extraction of a foreign body from the distal bronchus in the middle lobe, inaccessible by usual techniques, in a 3-year old child].
abstract: The authors report on the extraction of a piece of peanut impacted into the antero-internal bronchus of the right middle lobe, inaccesible to rigid bronchoscopy. After 4 months, this foreign body was visualised by flexible endoscope and removed by this technique under general anesthesia. We initially used a brush to pull the foreign body out of the distal bronchus and then used a biopsy forceps to remove it. Three months later, the chest-X-ray is normal and the child is asymptomatic.
