Abstract

Bronchoscopy has been described as a safe procedure with a low rate of complications. We present a case of a 48-year-old woman who underwent flexible bronchoscopy for chronic cough. Immediately after the procedure, she developed proptosis of the left eye that required urgent attention. It resolved with medical treatment alone and the patient was discharged without any long-term complications.
