Foreign body aspiration is a cause of the accidental death at home. Therefore, early intervention and proper management is important. A bronchoscopy is indicated whenever there is a suggestive history and medical opinion. Occasionally, foreign body removal with bronchoscopy may be fail. But, on the situation, there is no definite recommended standard management. We experienced two cases of bronchial foreign body could not be removed with bronchoscopy at first intervention. The one was diagnosed too late. Endobronchial granulation tissue and edema made it impossible to find the foreign body at first bronchoscopy. After steroid and antibiotic therapy, foreign body could be removed with secondary bronchoscopy. Another was bronchial foreign body jammed tightly bronchus intermedius. Even after medical therapy, patient got aggravated. So foreign body was removed with bronchotomy.
