PEDIATRIC FOREIGN BODY INJURY
Foreign body injury is a common pediatric health problem, particularly in children under the age of four years. Although the majority of cases is identified and treated early, it is important to be able to recognize subtle symptoms of foreign body injury, provide anticipatory guidance to families, and encourage follow up care to minimize consequences. The most recent clinical evidence regarding common causes and types of foreign body injuries in the child, anatomy and assessment, diagnosis, management techniques and preventative measures will be presented.
