We describe a case of an 11-month-old baby presenting to the emergency room with a foreign body in the upper airway. After unsuccessfully attempting to remove the foreign body in the emergency department, the otolaryngologist was consulted. The patient was taken to the operating room, and a comb was successfully removed under conscious sedation. This case illustrates the need of a well-considered strategy for managing the airway of a pediatric patient with a foreign body, while also demonstrating the unique challenges of treating pediatric patients.
