Abstract

Objectives: Foreign body aspiration (FBA) has a wide clinical spectrum, patients may be asymptomatic or present with cardiopulmonary arrest. Radiological imaging methods are used in addition to history and physical examination findings for certain diagnosis. Lung ultrasonography (LUS), whose usage area is increasing year by year, can be included in these. This study aimed to investigate ultrasonography findings in FBA and hypothesized that LUS may have a standard place in FBA diagnosis.
