Abstract

 Albendazole tablet aspiration represents a rare cause of symptomatic endobronchial foreign body in pediatric emergency department.

Seizures were controlled but the child sustained hypoxic cerebral injury. This case calls attention to the importance of cautious use of tablet formulations in children and need for public action at the scene to save a life with quality.
