Abstract
The work compares the cases of two children of the same age (14-15 months) who raise
the similar suspect of inhalation of foreign bodies. In the first case the hypothesis was suggested
by the radiologic finding of atelectasis. In the second case the clinical history was
suggestive but it was not emphasized at first. Some comments on these clinical cases and
about atelectasis and foreign bodies are reported. The aim was to discuss when the suspect
of inhalation of foreign bodies raised, which is a common problem in children, and to define
the indications to bronchoscopy.
