Dorland defines croup as "a condition resulting from acute obstruction of the larynx caused by allergy, foreign body, infection or new growth, occurring chiefly in infants and children and characterized by resonant barking cough, hoarseness and persistent stridor." Life was simpler when we distinguished false (spasmodic) from true (diphtheritic) croup! Now, we recognize many etiologies, often viral in origin. In some lofty quarters, accepted opinion might hold that controlled studies have failed to show any value of steroid medication; however, my opinion is based more on 37 years of pediatric practice than on my 13 years in the "tower." A number of laryngologists and anesthesiologists recommend corticosteroids, especially dexamethasone, for treatment of laryngeal edema, even though it is less acceptable to many pediatric faculties and house staffs.

Flexible Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy

Foreign body aspiration is uncommon in adults and the diagnosis may be delayed in the elderly, as many fail to provide a history of choking during initial evaluation. Flexible bronchoscopy is a useful tool for foreign body extraction from the tracheobronchial tree in selected cases. A Sixty-two year old male presented with history of cough, purulent sputum and intermittent hemoptysis. CT scan of the thorax demonstrated a radio-dense foreign body in the bronchus intermedius causing focal narrowing. Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a glistening white bone in the distal bronchus intermedius which was successfully grasped with the flexible forceps and extracted via the oral route with the bronchoscope. Keywords: Elderly; flexible bronchoscopy; foreign body aspiration.
