Median Neuropathy

Fracture of an acupuncture needle resulted in a foreign body within the carpal tunnel of a patient who then developed median neuropathy. The needle fragment was recovered from within the median nerve during carpal tunnel release, with rapid post-operative relief of symptoms. Development of peripheral neuropathy is a potential complication of acupuncture.

Foreign body aspiration or ingestion can be a potential complication during routine dental treatment. The handling of dental objects requires particular care, especially where the patient is supine or semi-recumbent. Dentist must be able to manage emergency situations in which patients accidentally swallow dental instruments or materials during treatment and procedures. This article reviews the complications, management and prevention of aspiration or ingestion of foreign bodies.

Postural Drainage

Plastic foreign bodies in the trachea may be tricky, as Drs. Stool and Bluestone point out. We would not hesitate to use bronchoscopy on their patient either, since the history, physical examination, and roentgenograms all were equivo cal. Bronchoscopy was diagnostic as well as therapeutic. Postural drainage treatment is not appropriate without a diagnosis of foreign body aspiration. Stool and Bluestone correctly point out the hazard of migration of the foreign body, with the potential complication of glottic obstruction or spasm. See image in the PDF file

Background: : Bone cement is uncommon cause of foreign-body pulmonary embolism. Discussion:: 65-year-old woman with a wheeze presented with multiple linear opacities with bone density on chest x-ray. She reported a percutaneous vertebroplasty 4 months ago. Non-contrast chest computerized tomography showed peripheral cement emboli in pulmonary arteries. The patient received conservative treatment. Conclusion: Clinicians should be aware of this potential complication following vertebroplasty. It is necessary to perform a chest x-ray after procedure.

Successful Approach

The management of aortoiliac insufficiency has been improved considerably since the introduction of balloon-expandable stents in 1991. Although numerous studies have shown the safety and efficacy of balloon-expandable iliac artery stent placement, the procedure is not without potential complication. We report here a very unusual case of iliac artery stenting being complicated by deformation and elongation of the stent following balloon rupture at initial deployment with retention of the distal balloon marker and our successful approach to subsequent management with combined acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel. In conclusion, this conservative approach may be an alternative treatment of a partially deployed aortoiliac stent with a retained foreign body when further intervention is considered to be of high risk.

Bullet Injury

All manner of foreign bodies have been extracted from the bladder. Introduction into the bladder may be through self-insertion, iatrogenic means or migration from adjacent organs. Extraction should be tailored according to the nature of the foreign body and should minimise bladder and urethral trauma. We report a case of a bullet injury to the bladder, which finally presented as a gross hematuria after remaining asymptomatic for four years. We present here an alternative to suprapubic cystostomy with a large bladder foreign body treated via a combined transurethral unroofing followed by removal using a grasper passed through a suprapubic laparoscopic port.
