We present a case of a 12-year-old boy who presented in the emergency room with a history of an episode of choking after aspiration of a foreign body, followed by severe respiratory distress and subcutaneous emphysema. Chest radiography revealed hyperinflation data, pneumothorax, and subcutaneous emphysema data. The flexible bronchoscope examination showed the presence of an inorganic foreign body impacted on the carina with tracheal lesions and laryngeal edema. It was necessary to perform a tracheostomy for its definitive extraction. The gold standard in the treatment of foreign body aspiration is bronchoscopy; although, in children, the technique adopted continues to be controversial, flexible bronchoscopy can be effective and very useful.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina58030396","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,7]],"date-time":"2022-03-07T10:21:16Z","timestamp":1646648476000},"page":"396","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Successful Management Foreign Body Aspiration Associated with Severe Respiratory Distress and Subcutaneous Emphysema: Case Report and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"58","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6488-3023","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 Juan","family":"G\u00f3mez-Ramos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Urgencias, Hospital General de Zona No. 89 IMSS, Guadalajara 44190, Jalisco, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6099-5650","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alejandro","family":"Mar\u00edn-Medina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Biolog\u00eda Molecular y Gen\u00f3mica, Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud (CUCS), Universidad de Guadalajara (UdeG), Guadalajara 44100, Jalisco, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexandro Azael","family":"Castillo-Cobian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Urgencias, Hospital General de Zona No. 89 IMSS, Guadalajara 44190, Jalisco, Mexico"},{"name":"Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud (CUCS), Universidad de Guadalajara (UdeG), Guadalajara 44100, Jalisco, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oscar Gabriel","family":"Felipe-Diego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Urgencias, Hospital General de Zona No. 89 IMSS, Guadalajara 44190, Jalisco, Mexico"},{"name":"Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud (CUCS), Universidad de Guadalajara (UdeG), Guadalajara 44100, Jalisco, Mexico"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2064","DOI":"10.1148\/rg.2015150096","article-title":"Imaging Acute Airway Obstruction in Infants and Children","volume":"35","author":"Darras","year":"2015","journal-title":"Radiographics"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"5","DOI":"10.5847\/wjem.j.1920-8642.2016.01.001","article-title":"Airway foreing bodies: A critical review for a common pediatric emergency","volume":"7","author":"Salih","year":"2016","journal-title":"World J.
