The Common

<p>The anebriated individual with sluggish reflexes is likely to aspirate inadverently fluids, semisolids and solids alike. Fish and chicken preparations with their sharp skeletal bones may lacerate or get entangled in the mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract. The tonsillar fauces, pyriform fossae, post cricoid region, supraglottis, glottis, subglottis, trachea, carina and either bronchi are the common sites of impaction of sharp-edged foreign bodies. We herein present a case involving a 40-year-old patient who had aspirated a laryngotracheal foreign body (chicken bone) 3 days prior to hospital admission, which was removed by tracheostomy and suspension microlaryngoscopy.  </p>

Identification And Characterization

A bronchopleural fistula (BPF) can lead to continuous pneumothorax and is rarely reported clinically in dogs. This report describes computed tomographic (CT) findings in two dogs with BPFs and subsequent continuous pneumothoraces that necessitated thoracotomy. Both dogs had a peripheral BPF in the right caudal lung lobe. The fistula in one dog was secondary to a previous foreign body migration, and the fistula in the other was thought to be secondary to dirofilariasis. On both CT examinations, a dilated subsegmental bronchus was seen communicating with the pleural space at the center of a focal, concave region of parenchymal consolidation. Multiplanar reformatting aided in identification and characterization of the BPF. The pneumothoraces resolved after right caudal lobectomy in both dogs. CT has the potential to identify BPFs, such as secondary to foreign body migration or dirofilariasis.

Close Proximity

Foreign body ingestion is a common reason for visiting the emergency room. Foreign bodies can lodge anywhere in the upper aerodigestive tract and can sometimes be difficult to extract. Wire bristles that dislodge from grill-cleaning wire brushes and which are then accidentally swallowed can be particularly challenging to remove due to their small size, propensity to become embedded, and their ability to migrate through tissues. This case reveals the speed with which wire bristle foreign bodies can migrate through tissues and exemplifies the need to obtain computerized tomography evaluations in close proximity to any planned attempt to remove them.

Safety Pin

Foreign bodies of the upper aerodigestive tract are common problems dealt with by the otolaryngologist. Among all foreign bodies in the oesophagus, an open safety pin still presents a challenge for the ENT specialists because of its propensity to pierce the oesophagus and surrounding structures. We present an interesting case of a long-standing foreign body i.e. an open safety pin, which, after piercing the hypopharynx, caused fatal common carotid artery rupture.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Inhalation/aspiration of foreign bodies (FB) into upper aerodigestive tract are very commonly encountered by otorhinolaryngologists. Most foreign bodies in adults are manageable, but sometimes can lead to fatal consequences in children. However, despite significant advances in instrumentation, they remain a therapeutic and diagnostic challenge. The aim was to study the clinical presentation, site of impaction, complications and management of foreign bodies in upper aerodigestive tract.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A retrospective study was conducted in department of ENT-Head and Neck Surgery, Rajarajeswari Medical College and Hospital, Bangalore. A total of 50 eligible patients were reviewed who got operated for foreign body in upper aerodigestive tract under general anaesthesia.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> History of foreign body was present in 86% of cases and 25% of the patients had complaints of difficulty in breathing. Nose being most common site in 74%, 70% of the patient belongs to 0-10 age group and male: female ratio was 1.7:1. Complications were seen in 12% of patients. Foreign body removal rate was 100%.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Early diagnosis is the key to successful and uncomplicated management of FB in upper aerodigestive tract. An orderly and systematic approach along with proper history and clinical examination is keystone in diagnosis and early management.</p>
