Pediatric foreign body inhalation is a medical emergency that is both challenging and tricky to treat. We report a 6-year-old child who presented with a foreign body in the right main bronchus that was removed successfully using an endoscopic urology Dormia basket. We reviewed the literature and proposed a recommendation to assist clinicians in dealing with pediatric foreign body inhalation.
