Introduction. Foreign bodies in the airways are a very urgent problem that occurs at any age and quite often requires an urgent and sometimes urgent assessment of the situation, examination, and making the right decision. According to statistics, most often foreign body in airway are found in childhood. In about 95–98% of cases, this pathology is recorded in children aged 1.5 to 3 years. This is due to the behavior of children, their anatomical and physiological characteristics and underdevelopment of protective reflexes. Among all cases of foreign body in airway, foreign bodies of the larynx are found in 12%, trachea – in 18%, bronchus – in 70% of cases. In 80% of cases, CTs enter the right bronchus, as it is a broader and more direct continuation of the trachea. The correct diagnosis is established early after CT aspiration in 40–57% of patients. The mortality rate varies, according to different authors, from 2 to 15%. Clinical case. The boy V., born in 2008. was admitted to the Department of Pediatric Pulmonology on May 30, 2019, with complaints of frequent unproductive cough, mainly daytime, increasing with physical exertion, sometimes subfibril body temperature, weakness, lethargy, decrease appetite. These complaints have been observed for the third time in the last six months. Diagnosis: Foreign body B10 of the left lung. Conclusions. Aspiration of a foreign body into the respiratory tract most often occurs in early childhood (1–3 years). The clinical picture in the early stages is asymptomatic, and over time it leads to the development of inflammatory changes in the lungs, are treated conservatively. Given the complexity of diagnosis, aspiration of a foreign body can lead to frequent recurrent pneumonia, the formation of bronchiectasis in the lower parts of the lungs, which may require surgical treatment. The gold standard of diagnostics is fibrobronchoscopy and spiral computed tomography of the thoracic cavity (SCT OGK), with the help of which, early after aspiration, a foreign body can be detected and subsequently excluded from the respiratory tract. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of an participating institution.The informed consent of the child’s parents was obtained from the studies. No conflict of interest was declared by the authors. Key words: child, lungs, foreign body.

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a common problem necessitating prompt recognition and early treatment to minimize the potentially severe and sometimes fatal consequences. We presented a 24-year-old girl who was admitted for chronic cough and recurrent pneumonia associated with constitutional symptoms. She was feverish with a temperature of 39°C and had tachycardia and tachypnoea with an oxygen saturation of 98%. Investigations revealed leukocytosis. CXR showed right lower lobe consolidation, and CT thorax demonstrated collapse consolidation of the right middle and lower lobe, along with associated dilated segmental bronchioles and diffuse patch ground-glass opacity in both lung fields. Bronchoscopy revealed a pen cap at the entrance of the right lower lobe. Patient symptoms improved after removal of the foreign body. In patients with recurrent chest infection, the physician should check for the possibility of FBA and prompt for a referral to a tertiary center for further evaluation.

Endobronchinė centrinė hamartoma (epistoma) pasitaiko labai retai. Kremzlinės struktūros plaučių hamartomos – chondrohamartomos ir osteochondrohamartomos – yra dažniausios. Darbo tikslas – apibūdinti plaučių hamartomas, sukonkretinti jų rentgenologinius diferencinės diagnostikos žymenis ir tuo remiantis – klasifikaciją. Ligoniai ir metodai Plaučių hamartomos buvo nustatytos 43 ligoniams – 16–78 metų 28 vyrams ir 15 moterų. Visiems ligoniams atliktas kompleksinis radiologinis tyrimas – polipozicinė rentgenoskopija, rentgenografija, tomografija, skaitmeninė fluorografija, kompiuterinė tomografija. Bronchoskopija ir biopsija padaryta 31 ligoniui. Buvo atliekami ir kiti tyrimai: ultragarsinis, funkciniai plaučių mėginiai, specifinės laboratorinės reakcijos diferencinei diagnostikai nuo plaučių tuberkuliozės, kolagenozės, echinokokozės, alergozės. Rezultatai 42 ligoniams diagnozuota periferinė ir vienam – centrinė hamartoma. Tipinė plaučių hamartomos lokalizacija – dešiniojo plaučio apatinė skiltis (21 ligonis, arba 49%). Centrinė endobronchinė hamartoma diagnozuota 42 metų ligoniui, ilgai sirgusiam lėtiniu bronchitu ir dažnai plaučių uždegimu. Operuota 30 ligonių. Devyni ligoniai iš 13 neoperuotųjų stebėti nuo 1 iki 14 metų. Periferinės hamartomos dažniausiai buvo besimptomės. 23 ligoniams hamartoma nustatyta atsitiktinai profilaktiškai tiriant plaučius dėl įvairių pilvo organų ligų arba atliekant fluorografinį tyrimą. Kitiems tirtiesiems hamartoma buvo diagnozuota sergant plaučių ligomis, tuberkulioze, alergoze, kolagenoze, įvairiais navikais. Dvylikai ligonių nepiktybinio plaučių naviko, arba hamartomos, diagnozė buvo tiksliai nustatyta poliklinikoje. Devyniems buvo įtartas pirminis vėžys arba metastazė, šešiems – specifinis infiltratas arba tuberkuloma, vienam – eozinofilinis infiltratas, vienam – echinokokas. Hamartoma 31 ligoniui buvo dešiniajame, 12 – kairiajame plautyje. Rentgenogramoje periferinė hamartoma buvo matoma apskritos formos ir ryškių kontūrų. Jos rentgenologinė struktūra buvo nevienoda. Šviesi (nekalcifikuota) hamartoma buvo matoma 14 ligonių. Kitiems 28 ligoniams diagnozuota kalcifikuota (inkrustuota arba tamsi) hamartoma, t. y. hamartochondroma (chondrohamartoma, osteochondrohamartoma). Išvados Nors plaučių hamartomos auga labai lėtai, pasitaiko labai greitai progresuojančių: 3 ligoniams, arba 7%, hamartomos per metus padidėjo iki 50%. Dažniausias jų variantas – hamartochondroma (chondrohamartoma). Piktybinių hamartomų nediagnozuota. Pagal neoplazinės kalcinozės laipsnį plaučių hamartomos radiologiškai skirstomos į tris variantus: šviesas, inkrustuotas ir tamsias. Radiologai gali diferencijuoti dažniausius plaučių hamartomų variantus, tarp jų chondrohamartomas ir osteochondrohamartomas. Reikšminiai žodžiai: disontogeniniai plaučių navikai, disembriomos, periferiniai plaučių navikai, hamartomos, hamartochondromos, neoplazinė kalcinozė, rentgenodiagnostika Diagnostics of pulmonary chondrohamartomas Aba Vitėnas Background / objective Hamartomas, as dysontogenic tumours, are most common among all peripheral non-malignant "spheral" pulmonary formations. Endobronchial central hamartoma is rare and is usually diagnosed as "epystoma" (bronchial obturator). Among peripheral hamartomas, tumours of cartilaginous structure (chondrohamartomas and ostheochondrohamartomas) are particularly common. The objective of the work was to describe pulmonary hamartomas and to concretize most common variations of hamartoma and their different radiological signs. Patients and methods Forty-three patients were diagnosed with pulmonary hamartoma (28 males and 15 females, 16–78 years old). In the hospital, clinical and laboratory tests were performed for all patients; complex radiological examination: polypositional X-ray radioscopy, radiography, tomography, digital fluorography, computed tomography. Thirty-one patients underwent bronchoscopy and biopsy, sonoscopy, functional lung tests, specific reactions. Results Forty-two patients had peripheral and one central hamartoma. The most typical localization of pulmonary hamartoma was the lower lobe of the right lung (21 patients, 49%). A central endobronchial hamartoma was diagnosed for a 42-year-old patient who had been ill for a long time with chronic bronchitis and frequent pneumonias. 30 pacients were operated one. From 13 non-operated patients, 9 were followed up in dynamics for 1–14 years. Peripheral hamartoma usually was asymptomatic. Twenty-three patients were diagnosed occasionaly during preventive pulmonary evaluation in case of different abdominal diseases or during fluorography. The others diagnosed as having hamartoma were ill with lung diseases, TBC, alergosis, collagenosis, different tumours. In out-patient settings, correct diagnosis of benign tumour or hamartoma was established for 12 patients, 9 were suspected as having cancer or metastases, 6 – specific infiltrate (tuberculoma), 1 – eosinophilic infiltrate and 1 – echinococcus; 31 patient had the tumour in the right, and 12 patients in the left lung. Radiologically, hamartoma is a spheric tumour with clear margins. As to the structure of the tumour, 14 patients had non-calcificated, "light" hamartoma, 28 had calcificated, "inlaid" and "hard" hamartochondroma. Thus, neoplastic calcinosis is characteristic of chondrohamartomas (osteochondrohamartomas) and occurs twice as often as hamartomas of other types. Conclusions Althought hamartomas grow very slowly, there were rapidly increasing ones: for 3 patients (7%) the volume of hamartoma increased by 50% in a year. The most common type was hamartochondroma (chondrohamartoma). There were no malignant hamartomas. Therefore radiologists can diagnose most common variations of hamartomas as "light", "inlaid" and "hard" ones.

Abstract The paper contains structure analysis of the lower respiratory tract recurrent disease in 180 children aged one to five years, residents of Odessa, who were treated in pulmonology department of Children’s Academician BJ Reznik City Clinical Hospital. The examinees are represented by two groups: 150 children with recurrent wheezing and 30 - with recurrent pneumonia. The selection criteria were: abnormality of central nervous system, abnormality, cystic fibrosis, congenital heart defects, tuberculosis, human immunodeficiency virus-infection. The analysis detected that in the survey sample with recurrent lower respiratory tract disease 3.88% of children had Orphan disease. Thus in the group of children with recurrent wheezing were diagnosed 2 cases of congenital lobar hyperexpansion (ORPHA 1928), one case of lung bronchogenic cyst (ORPHA 2357), one case of pulmonary hypoplasia in the lower lobe of the left lung (ORPHA 2257), and one case of primary ciliary dyskinesia (ORPHA 98,861). Regarding the entire structure of recurrent wheezing, most frequently was detected atopic asthma (49.33%). In 24.6% cases the cause of recurrent wheezing was associated with the otolaryngological pathology. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia was diagnosed in two children. Recurrent pneumonia cases were differentiated if the localization of process was at the same or different places. When one-sided localization of pneumonia was established, next congenital airway malformations were diagnosed - 3 cases of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations (type I). Genetic pathology often occurred in cases with different lesions location. In all cases of uncertain diagnosis, predictors of recurrent lower respiratory tract diseases were revealed.

AbstractObjective:This paper describes and discusses the case of an oesophageal foreign body, in which the patient presented with primarily respiratory clinical signs.Case report:A 17-month-old child, who had ingested a watch battery, presented to emergency services on multiple occasions with upper respiratory tract symptoms. Subsequent radiographs showed the battery in the oesophagus impinging on the trachea. The battery was removed successfully under a general anaesthetic.Conclusion:Large oesophageal foreign bodies can impinge on the trachea causing upper respiratory tract signs. In such cases, anteroposterior and lateral chest films are imperative to make a correct diagnosis.

Aspiration of foreign bodies of the lower respiratory tract is the most common cause of accidental death in children under 6 years of age in the United States. The aim of the study was to actualize the problem of foreign bodies in modern society, to determine the most common types of foreign body, who and why usually aspires foreign body, whether the incidence is changing, and to define principles for optimal prevention. During our five-year study, we had 166 cases of aspiration of foreign bodies of the lower respiratory tract. The incidence is highest in children under three years of age (54.8%). Cough (94.6%) and breathing difficulties (78.9%) were the dominated symptoms. The majority of aspirated objects were grain (peanuts, walnuts, sunflower seeds) - 29.5%. Localization of foreign bodies was mainly in the right and left main bronchus, and the most common complications were atelectasis and emphysema. All patients had undergone a rigid upper tracheobronchoscopy and foreign body was found in 80 patients (48%). There was no need to perform neither tracheotomy, nor any further surgical treatment, as for example thoracotomy, in any patient. Good education is the best prevention.

Foreign bodies in the respiratory tract are rare in adults. Clinical manifestations include hemoptysis among other signs which requires the examination to detect tuberculosis and lung cancer. The article describes a clinical case that demonstrates the possibilities of endoscopic diagnostics and treatment in the patient with an X-ray negative foreign body (a cigarette filter) that has been in the lumen of the upper lobar bronchus of the right lung for a long time which caused inflammation in the blocked lobe and mimicking endoscopically central lung cancer.

Many vegetable foreign bodies can produce serious pulmonary complications because of chemical irritation to the airway. Barley grass, a type of grasshead, does not induce such a reaction because of its resistance to organic decay. Complications which may occur are illustrated by the clinical course of two patients with aspiration of this foreign body. In the first patient the grasshead entered the trachea with the flowering unit first and the stem following. In the second patient the stem entered the trachea first. Recurrent pneumonias were noted in the first patient. Despite its presence in the right stem bronchus for three years, no further episodes of pneumonia followed its removal. In the second patient the grassheads could not be removed endoscopically. They migrated into the right lower lobe producing pneumonia and ultimately resulting in a brain abscess. The difference of entry of the same foreign body into the trachea, stem first versus flowering unit first, is an essential factor in altering the clinical outcome.

Abstracts. Otorhinolaryngology. Prof. Uffenrode (D. med. Woch. 1929. No. 25.) describes 2 very interesting cases from his practice. 1. To remove peas from the ears of a 5-year-old child, a family doctor used tweezers. In view of the child's strong anxiety, chlorine ethyl anesthesia was applied, but the removal of foreign bodies from the ears was not possible; deep wound in the right ear canal. Secondary chlorine - ethyl anesthesia; the foreign body was removed from the left ear by washing, from the right ear it was not possible. The next day, an otorhinolaryngologist will remove the foreign body from the right ear; a wound of the tympanic membrane was established.

Aspiration of foreign bodies into the windpipe usually results in respiratory damage. This lesion may be of varying intensity and may be localized in different parts of the respiratory tract or lungs. Both the intensity and the localization of the lesion may depend on a number of reasons and above all on the location of the foreign body and its type, but also on the constitutional characteristics of the body and on many other causes. Aspirated foreign bodies are found in the trachea or larynx and almost as often in the bronchi.
