Foreign bodies aspirated into the airway or ingested with retention in the esophagus are common in infants and children. Both can cause life-threatening complications and must be approached with expeditious diagnosis and definitive treatment. Pediatric surgeons should be familiar with diagnosis, treatment, operative management, complications, and outcomes of aerodigestive tract foreign bodies.
