A 10-months-old cross long hair cat named Casper with clinical symptom of vomiting mixed with slimy cat feed was referred to Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Bogor Agricultural University to endoscopy examination and therapy. The owner believed that Casper ate a 5 cm long sewing needle a few days earlier. The history and physical examination were examined at DNA Clinic with symptoms of lack of appetite and becoming quieter and calmer. Radiogram showed the needle was in thorax area with a vertical needle penetrating the esophageal wall. Removal of the needle and observation of the esophagus area were done using endoscopy under general anesthesia. Using endoscopy, it was known that the needle was swallowed along with the sewing thread with position of all needles penetrating the esophagus wall and leaving a small amount of thread on the lumen. The needle was pulled back to the esophageal lumen by pulling the remaining thread and then both needle and the thread were pulled back out using an alligator grasping forceps that used through working channel. Therapy given after endoscopy was antibiotics and anti-emetics.

Foreign bodies of the aerodigestive tract have been recognized for centurles. Before the early 20th century, foreign body aspiration or ingestion often meant prolonged illness and death.1 Prior to the advent of modern endoscopy, bronchotomy was the primary method of laryngotracheo-bronchial foreign body removal, and blunt metallic hooks, wire nooses, esophageal forceps, and pieces of linen attached to a piece of whalebone were used to extract foreign bodies from the esophagus.2 Not surprisingly, Weist, in 1882 (as cited by Clerf2), reported a 27.4% death rate for patients undergoing bronchotomy v a 23.2% mortality for those who were not treated. In 1911, LeRoche (as cited by Clerf2) reported the use of a rigid esophagoscope for removal of sharp foreign objects. It was Chevalier Jackson, however, who developed and refined aerodigestive endoscopy. By 1936, he was able to report a decrease in mortality from foreign bodies from 24% to 2% and a 98% success rate for bronchoscopic removal.1 Although there have been marked changes in anesthesia, equipment, and endoscopic teaching since Jackson's time, his remarkable record of success has not been significantly improved upon. The mortality for all recent series is now well below 1%, mainly due to improved anesthesia, instrumentation, and medical therapy of the suppurative complications.

To review our experience with inhaled laryngeal foreign bodies in children, we performed a retrospective review of all admissions to our institution between March 1989 and March 2002 with the diagnosis of an inhaled laryngeal foreign body. We included only cases in which the diagnosis was confirmed at endoscopy under general anesthesia. Two children were dead on arrival at our institution as a result of upper airway obstruction following a choking episode and did not undergo endoscopy; they were not included. Nine children (5 male, 4 female) were identified. The age range was 5 months to 13 years 9 months, although only 1 child was older than 32 months. The foreign body was removed within 24 hours of a witnessed choking episode in 4 children, and the diagnosis was delayed in 5 children for a period between 4 days and 2 months, including 2 in whom a history of a choking episode had been initially obtained. One complication occurred in a child in whom the diagnosis was delayed; he developed laryngeal edema after foreign body removal and required endotracheal intubation for 1 week.
