A case of a 13 year old unconscious girl who aspirated her molar tooth when she sustained a fall is presented. Chest radiograph demonstrated the aspirated tooth in the left main bronchus but it was unidentified by the attending pediatricians because the radiograph was not reported. The value of radiology in the diagnosis and management of such a case, the complications of this life threatening condition and the role of the pathologist is discussed.
