    (derman Medical Publ, 2012) Karadas, Seydegul; Gonullu, Hayriye; Sayir, Fuat; Aydin, Irfan
    Foreign body aspiration is frequently seen at childhood age group whereas various facilitator factors can be observed in adults particularly in the elderly group. In this study a 78-year-old male case who swallowed his dental prothesis and had a foreign substance detected in his chest X-ray was presented. In the cases that have nonspesific complaints such as incipient chest pain and difficulty in breathing and have no known underlying lung disease, foreign body aspiration must be suspected.
