A RARE CASE OF BRONCHO-ESOPHAGEAL FISTULA FOLLOWING ESOPHAGEAL DILATATION PROCEDURE

Acquired trachea-esophageal fistula (TEF) is a rare condition caused by cuffed tracheal tube, surgical trauma and blunt injuries. Surgical approach for the treatment is successful in surgical units with specialized TEF surgery. Herein, we presented such a rare case of post intubation acquired TEF in a 23 year old female patient who presented with cough and regurgitation of food 7 days after extubation. Patient had history of organophosphate poison ingestion after which she was intubated in emergency room and kept on mechanical ventilation for 11 days. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, fibre optic bronchoscopy and computed tomography scan of neck and chest revealed the presence of TEF, 2.5 cm below glottis. Patient was managed with elective single step surgical approach after which patient recovered well. Fistula resection with crico-tracheal anastomosis with primary closure of esophageal defect and suture line buttressed using strap muscle flap cover was done.

Abstract Background To enhance awareness of the clinical features and prevention of endotracheal myiasis. Case presentation A case of intratracheal myiasis is reported. A 61-year-old male patient with a history of laryngectomy was admitted to hospital due to tracheostomal hemorrhage of 3 h duration. Intratracheal myiasis was confirmed by bronchoscopy, and the patient underwent bronchoscopic intervention, which was complicated by a tracheal-esophageal fistula and resolved by endotracheal stenting. Twenty months after stent placement, the fistula had not healed. Conclusion Intratracheal myiasis has serious complications and is difficult to treat. For post-tracheostomy patients, healthcare providers and caregivers should pay attention to the care and monitoring of wounds and maintenance of a tidy, clean living environment to prevent intratracheal myiasis.

Pulmonary Changes

Electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDXA) are found to be very useful tools for identification of etiologic agents in pneumoconiosis or interstitial pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and granulomatosis are frequently associated with occupational and environmental pollution. Numerous reports of pneumoconiosis in various occupations such as coal and gold miners are presented in the literature. However, there is no known documented case of pulmonary changes in workers in the sandpaper industry. This study reports a rare case of pulmonary granulomatosis containing deposits from abrasives of sandpaper diagnosed by using EDXA.
