| Popis: | Seventy four out of 94 cases of bronchoscopy carriedout over a five year period are reviewed. The clinical history of choking followed by recurrent spasmodic cough were found to be the most important element in making the diagnosis and proceeding to diagnostic and therapeutic bronchoscopy. Radiology was inferior as a diagnostic aid although radioactive scanning may be helpful in difficult cases. |
