Popis: | Airway foreign bodies are common problems in children. However, they can also occur in adults, albeit less commonly. These are usually inanimate objects but sometimes, animate objects may also be ‘inhaled’, and these can rarely include live creatures! In this report, we discuss an interesting case of a live leech in the airway that we managed in our center. |
