Abstract

It is a rare event that a patient suspected to have a subglottic stenosis actually has a foreign body bronchus. We report a suspected case of subglottic stenosis secondary to partial hanging and prolonged intubation. However, surprisingly the rigid bronchoscopy revealed a betel nut at the level of carina.
