2020, Radiology Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :While bronchoscopy is both diagnostic and therapeutic, providing an unparalleled visualization of the patient's airway and the ability to remove the offending object, it is an invasive procedure that must be performed under general anesthesia. It is also associated with complications such as injury to vocal cords or airway mucosa, bronchospasm, laryngospasm, and even death [7]. Due to the desire of parents and physicians to avoid subjecting children to increased risk, chest radiography is an important diagnostic tool utilized in children suspected of AFB [8].
