One month later, during the pulmonology consultation, the patient describes an episode, 2 weeks before, of violent cough during his sleep, that ended up with him feeling a metal taste and finding the dental prothesis (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>c) inside is mouth. Chest X-ray performed on the day of the consultation confirmed the absence of the foreign body (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>d).
