CHRONIC COMPLICATION OF FOREIGN BODY IN TRACHEOBRONCHIAL TREE : A CASE REPORT Foreign body aspiration in tracheobronchial could be life threatening particularly if the object large enought to cause nearly complete obstruction.  In the other hand small object could pass beyond carina and cause less severe sign and complication manifest. Chronic  symptoms with recurrent infection that lead to brochiectasis may occur in delayed of extraction. We presented a case of nail aspiration  by a 17 years old male patients who presented with  hemoptysis. The patient had history of nail aspiration six months ago and had no symptom until the last one week . First attempt of evacuating  used rigid bronchoscopy  under general anesthesia had failed. Fiber optic bronchoscopy (FOB) found the nail at the orificium of right lower lobe and chest computed tomography stated the  occurancy of bronchiectasis at distal of nail. The extraction was performed by FOB with local anesthesia succeeded to remove the nail to the laring that induced cough and nail threw out. There were no major complication and further symptoms after the extraction. Eventhough aspiration small object cause no symptom, it could lead  to chronic complication such as bronchiectasis. FOB for removing the object is supposed to perform carefully because the object could fall on another part of brochial tree when it was  pulled out.
