title: [Endogenous tracheobronchial foreign body. An indication for emergency bronchoscopy with a rigid bronchoscope].
abstract: We report two patients, a 3-year-old child and a 75-year-old woman, with a foreign body of the trachea, and of the entire tracheobronchial system respectively. We emphasise the importance of rigid endoscopes for foreign body extraction and for respiration. Also, we describe the differentiation of endogenous from exogenous foreign bodies of the tracheobronchial system.
