Balloon dilatation for bronchial stenosis after left upper lobectomy and wedge resection of the main bronchus, a case report.

Introduction Severe blunt injury of the chest can cause rupture of the tracheobronchial tree. After completed management of the injury, stenosis of the bronchi may develop at the site of the rupture. Such condition is associated with pathophysiolocical disorders, which then indicates to the possible presence of the bronchial stenosis. Case report We report a patient with stenosis of the right main bronchus due to blunt injury sustained in a traffic accident. We present all pathophysiological signs detected during examination. The patient had dyspnea, cianosis, tachycardia, low oxygen saturation and low pO2. We performed right thoracothomy and resection of the main bronchus with TT anastomosis. Conclusion It is very useful to understand the described pathophysiological signs so as to ensure rapid diagnosis of stenosis, but also better and timely solving of problems that can occur during thoracothomy.

Paediatric Case

Treatment with a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy is known to be associated with oesophageal stricture in both children and adults with malignancies. However, oesophageal stricture resulting from chemotherapy alone is a rare complication, with few reports on it. We experienced a rare paediatric case of oesophageal stricture caused by chemotherapy for osteosarcoma of the left distal femur. After completion of the chemotherapy course, the patient showed dysphagia caused by the oesophageal stricture and underwent balloon dilatation for the oesophageal stricture. After balloon dilatation, he was able to ingest solid foods, and the oesophagus was normal without any strictures at the last follow-up (20 months after ballooning). Therefore, oesophageal stricture should be considered as a complication of treatment with chemotherapy alone in children with malignancies.
