We reviewed 20 cases of tracheo-bronchial foreign bodies in children below 15 years of age, who were treated at our department between 1978 and 1995. Clinical observations pointed out the importance of prevention, earlier diagnosis and earlier treatment. Ventilation bronchoscopy was performed in 22 cases. In 20 out of the 22 cases, tracheo-bronchial foreign bodies were confirmed. In one of the 20 cases, we did not suspect a tracheo-bronchial foreign body from the past history, X-ray or physical findings, but ventilation bronchoscopy was performed because the patient's condition worsened. Therefore, the past history should be reviewed in detail to pursure any possibility of tracheo-bronchial foreign bodies. In the case of children, operations should be performed at the earliest possible time to diagnose and treat tracheobronchial foreign bodies, if their presence is even suspected, because it often happens that their conditions worsen immediately.
