Abstract

Two patients were admitted after having inhaled a pin; both were females aged between 8-9 years. Aspiration into the right bronchial tree, which was not attained by a foreign-body forceps, occurred in both patients. The pins were successfully retrieved by use of the magnetic extractor using a rigid bronchoscope under direct visual control.
