Abstract: Foreign body aspiration is a common emergency especially in childhood and constitutes major cause of mortality. It may be asymptomatic or occurs with serious complications and death. We present a 53 year old male building worker who aspirated an oxidized nail accidentally into his left bronchus while working and succesfully retrieval of the nail via fluoroscopia. Emergency clinicians should always consider and handle acute foreign body aspirations an emergency and immidiately consultate the patient with surgery clinic for immidiate removal of the foreign body . Fluoroscopy may be beneficial for foreign body aspirations into the bronchus. Keywords: Foreign body aspiration, emergency, building worker, nail, fluoroscopy, left bronchus.
