We present a series of 133 cases of children under 10 years of age with solid foreign bodies in lower respiratory tract. These cases were analysed under clinic, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. The index of clinical diagnosis is taken into consideration, based on the respiratory symptoms and the aspirative antecedent, the radiologic diagnosis; bronchoscopy as diagnosis and therapeutic procedure, and the use of other medical and surgical treatments.
