INTRODUCTION. Foreign body aspiration is one of the main causes of emergency room admissions and morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients in Ecuador. Diagnosis is usually late, due to lack of interest of caregivers, or due to errors in the assessment. It is important to detect the condition in time to avoid complications. OBJECTIVE. To demonstrate the need for an accurate diagnosis in the presence of high suspicion in a doubtful picture of foreign body aspiration. CASE SERIES. Evaluation of four patients of both sexes, between 11 months and 15 years of age with a history of foreign body ingestion, attended at the Pediatric Surgery Technical Unit of the Carlos Andrade Marin Specialties Hospital, during 2019-2020 period. Successful extraction by rigid bronchoscopy was performed in three of them. DISCUSSION. Most patients with foreign body aspiration are usually under 5 years of age, in contrast to this study, where only one patient was within this range, and the rest were schoolchildren and adolescents. The most common foreign body is of organic origin; 50% of the cases observed were of inorganic origin. CONCLUSION. The diagnosis of foreign body aspiration is conditioned to the complete collection of data on the Clinical History; it requires a rapid assessment and appropriate emergency management.
