RESUMEN
Foreign body aspiration is commonly described in infants and children. However, recently, a newhigh-risk group was identified among young women, especially those from the Muslim populationwho wear the traditional hair scarf. This is due to the habit of holding the scarf pin in between thelips to free hands to adjust the scarf more easily. Talking, laughing, or coughing while fixing thescarf may result in inadvertent inhalation of the pin into the tracheobronchial tree. We present acase of scarf pin inhalation and the challenges encountered in managing this patient during thesuccessful removal of the pin via flexible bronchoscopy under fluoroscopy guidance. This particularcase was technically challenging for us as the sharp tip of the needle was pointing upward andpiercing the bronchial mucosa.
