Abstract

The inhalation of foreign bodies is a frequent, poorly listed and multifactorial situation. It may be accidental or voluntary. Through this observation in 16-month-old infants, we try to show that foreign workers can present an immediate danger. The Tracheoesophageal fistula is a medical-surgical emergency that requires multidisciplinary management involving clinicians, radiologists, surgeons and endoscopists. Lack of adequate equipment can lead to death.

Keywords: Difficulty; Tracheoesophageal Fistula; Infant
