Abstract
Çocuklarda kronik öksürüğün nadir nedenlerinden birisi de bronşta yabancı cisim bulunmasıdır. Dokuz yaşında kız hasta, altı aydır süren öksürük şikayeti ile başvurdu. Anamnezde hastanın dişini yuttuğunu daha önce başvurduğu merkezlerde ifade etmesine rağmen astım ve pnömoni tanısı aldığı ve ilaçlarla şikayetlerinin geçmediği ve herhangi bir tetkik yapılmadığı öğrenildi. Fizik muayenesinde dinlemekle sağda ekspiryum uzunluğu olup sağ hemitoraksta dinlemekle solunum sesi azalmıştı. Kan tetkiklerine hafif lökositoz dışında özellik yoktu. Akciğer grafisinde sağ bronşial alanda opak görünümü mevcuttu. Hasta bu bulgularla solunum yolunda yabancı cisim tanısı aldı. Çocuk cerrahisine konsülte edildi ve bronkoskopi yapıldı. Sağ bronştan bir adet molar diş çıkartıldı. Öksürük şikayeti müdahale sonrasında gerileyen hastanın takiplerinde şikayeti tekrarlamadı. Olgu kronik öksürük şikayeti ile başvuran okul çağı çocuğunda anamnezin, fizik muayenenin ve akciğer grafisinin ne kadar önemli olduğunu vurgulamak amacıyla sunulmuştur.
