A Case of Prolonged Atelectasis and Recurrent Pneumonia Secondary to an Unsuspected Chicken Bone Aspiration: A Case Report

Abstract

This case underscores the importance of considering FBA in the differential diagnosis of persistent atelectasis or treatment-resistant pneumonia in adults, even in the absence of aspiration history or risk factors. Diagnostic bronchoscopy remains the gold standard, enabling both definitive diagnosis and therapeutic intervention, thereby preventing misdiagnosis as neoplasm and avoiding unnecessary procedures.
