Abstract

 Foreign body choking are very frequent in occurrence which is mostly accidental. Though, the accidental foreign body inhalation is observed in all age group, the small children below 4 years of age are the common victims. Food related items and plastic toys are the foreign bodies commonly encountered. Food is the energy provider for the life which can become an asphyxiating agent at times. The spectrum of airway foreign bodies varies from country to country, depending on the diet and customs of the population.It can be fatal if it results in serious impairment of respiration or cardiac inhibition. Here we report a death of a two yearchild brought for autopsy who had died after aspiration of groundnuts. The boy had started grunting while eating groundnuts. He was immediately diagnosed as aspiration of groundnuts. He died within 24 hours of admission inspite of emergency removal of the two pieces of groundnut by rigid bronchoscopy.
