Answer
Aspiration of foreign body
The films are taken in inspiration and expiration giving the clue that the
suspected diagnosis is an inhaled foreign body. The inspiratory film shows
loss of volume of the right hemithorax with shift of the mediastinum to
the right. On the expiratory film, there is air trapping on the affected side
as the foreign body has prevented complete expiration from the right lung.
If the film is examined carefully, there is an opacity in the right main
bronchus which is an inhaled foreign body.
Management involves bronchoscopy, either rigid or flexibly and
extraction of the foreign body. Forceps, baskets and fogarty balloons can
be used to try and grasp the foreign body.
