ABSTRACT
A foreign object can remain in trachea only in rare cases. For that, it should have either a size providing its passing through the glottis and preventing its penetration into the bronchus, or a special form providing its clinging to the trachea walls or wedging between them. The author presents a case study: an extraordinary large foreign object (sewing needle) in the trachea in a 14 years old child.
