Rigid Oesophagoscopy

Abstract Background Ingested foreign bodies are a common presentation to paediatric ENT services. Depending on the site, these are usually managed with flexible or rigid oesophagoscopy and retrieval. This paper presents a novel technique for removing a hollow foreign body that could not be removed using conventional means. Method and results After rigid and flexible approaches failed, a guidewire was passed through the foreign body under fluoroscopic guidance and a dilatation balloon passed through the lumen of the object. Inflating the balloon allowed dilatation of the inflamed mucosa above and below the object, facilitating straightforward removal under traction. Conclusion This is a novel and reproducible technique that uses equipment readily available in tertiary referral centres. Employed in this context, the technique enabled removal of an impacted object surrounded by granulation tissue, and would be appropriate for other objects with a lumen.

AbstractWe report a case of myasthenia gravis presenting to the department of otolaryngology with acute dysphagia on two separate occasions over a one-year period. Diagnosis of myasthenia gravis was made when the patient developed ventilatory failure after his second general anaesthetic for rigid oesophagoscopy. Our patient required emergency transfer to the intensive therapy unit for ventilation. He improved after treatment with corticosteroids, anticholinesterase and immunosuppressive medications. Our case was unusual in that cricopharyngeal spasm causing dysphagia and significant aspiration was demonstrated by a barium swallow and this was completely resolved after treatment of the myasthenia gravis.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">An estimated 40 percent of foreign body ingestions in children are not witnessed, and in many cases, the child never develops symptoms. Sharp foreign body, button battery must be carefully removed and followed up for any complications. Foreign bodies that have passed the gastroesophageal junction should be assured that the foreign body will probably pass through the GI tract. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">A retrospective analysis of the records of the children below 12 years with foreign body ingestions were analysed and the radio-opaque foreign body were included in the study period between March 2012 to March 2015. The x-ray were analysed, type of foreign body, treatment and complications were noted.  </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">There were 45 children included in the study who had ingested foreign body and on radiological evaluation radio opaque foreign body was found. The coin topped the list with 30, button battery- 7 numbers, safety pin- 5 numbers. In 2 children who ingested button battery suffered cricopharyngeal stricture, which was treated with serial dilatation with bougies, while one child with open safety pin ingestion, developed pseudo- aneurysm of arch of aorta and one ear stud developed stridor with sub glottic stenosis. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">The radio opaque foreign though is easy to visualise, but in some case it can dangerous complications.

Globus pharyngeus is a common ENT condition. This paper reviews the current evidence on globus and gives a rational guide to the management of patients with globus. The aetiology of globus is still unclear though most ENT surgeons believe that reflux whether acidic or not plays a significant role. Though proton pump inhibitors are used extensively in practice, there is little evidence to support their efficacy. Most patients with globus can be discharged after simple office investigations. The role of pepsin-induced laryngeal injury is an exciting concept that needs further study. Given the benign nature of globus pharyngeus, in most cases, reassurance rather than treatment or extensive investigation with rigid oesophagoscopy or contrast swallows is all that is needed. We need more research into the aetiology of globus.

Rigid Oesophagoscopy

Oesophagitis dissecans superficialis is an extremely rare and benign condition where the mucosal epithelium of the oesophagus sloughs off along the whole length of the oesophagus and is expelled as an oesophageal cast. This condition has been reported in association with various aetiological factors. We report a case of an oesophageal cast in a patient who underwent repeated oesophagoscopy and dilatation for a postcricoid web. We discuss the possible relationship between trauma to the upper oesophagus and the development of oesophagitis dissecans superficialis.

Rigid Oesophagoscopy

The case of a 17-year-old girl who presented with a two-day history of absolute dysphagia secondary to a bulbar palsy due to a pre-pontine abscess is described. Rigid oesophagoscopy was normal and a neurology consultation suggested a central cause for her dysphagia. However the diagnosis was delayed because a computed tomography (CT) scan of her brain and brainstem was reported as normal. A subsequent magnetic resonance image (MRI) scan revealed a pre-pontine abscess. CT scanning is not as reliable as MRI in the diagnosis of infective lesions of the brainstem/brain, especially early in the course of the infection.
