title: Use of a Fogarty catheter after tracheobronchial inhalation of a bead.
abstract: We describe a case of tracheobronchial inhalation of a bead by a five-year-old girl in Djibouti. The bead was extracted using a Fogarty balloon catheter passed through the rigid bronchoscope without complication. This kind of accident is not exceptional and we discuss the management of such cases with limited diagnostic tools and therapeutic environments.
