Abstract
A foreign body (FB) was detected in the right lower zone on the chest X-ray of a 24-year-old woman who presented to the OPD with a cough and sputum. With the help of virtual bronchoscopy, the FB was localized in the posterior segment of the right lower lobe. It was located with the help of a flexible bronchoscope and fluoroscopy and retrieved with the help of snare and endobronchial biopsy forceps. After ensuring clinical stability, the patient was discharged the next day. Bronchoscopic FB removal from segmental and subsegmental bronchi is difficult. Fluoroscopy permits the bronchoscopic retrieval of FB from these relatively inaccessible regions and of the lung and averts the need for thoracotomy.
