Abstract
Foreign body in the tracheobronchial tree is an emergency commonly affecting the paediatric age group. A delay in diagnosis and removal may cause high morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a 1-year-6-month-old presenting with multiple peanuts aspirated into both lungs, ultimately resulting in death due to cardiopulmonary complications. The aim of the case report is to highlight the importance of thorough history-taking from parents, intraoperative suspicion of more than a single aspirated foreign body, and meticulous measurements taken to minimise extraction time.
