Abstract
Bronchiectasis is a chronic inflammatory disease with abnormal permanent dilatation of the bronchial wall. There are many diseases and conditions that play a role in the formation of bronchiectasis, especially infections in childhood. Foreign body aspirations can also rarely cause bronchial destruction and bronchiectasis. Although organic foreign bodies are usually aspirated in childhood, bronchiectasis cases due to various foreign body aspirations are also encountered. In this study, we presented an interesting case of bronchiectasis due to bullet aspiration 30 years ago.
