A Rare Case Of A Vocal Cord Foreign Body In An Infant: A Case Report

Abstract

A foreign body (FB) is an object or item that is foreign to the area in which it is found. FB in the airway, accompanied by the esophagus, is a common overnight emergency in pediatric otolaryngology. Here we report a case of a healthy 11-month-old girl with no fever who presented to the emergency room complaining of cough and shortness of breath following the ingestion of a foreign object. We aim to report this case to describe the rare presence of sharp glass within vocal cords without any complications.
