Description
Abdurrahman Jilani and three colleagues tell of a woman, aged 56, who breathed in a tooth that sat in her left main airway for 11 years. Grown-ups rarely breathe in objects, and the left side is the less likely route. For years she was treated for lung infection again and again.
Each drug course eased her cough, fever, and chest pain for a short spell, then the signs came back. Long drug use hurt her gut and led to a grave colon crisis. At a big centre, scans and a scope at last found the tooth. Thin tools could not free it, but a stiff scope pulled it out under full sleep drugs. Six months on, she was well and her scans were clear.
