Body Sensation

Fish bone ingestion is a common encounter in otorhinolaryngology setting. The patient usually present with foreign body sensation and odynophagia. Owing to its sharp end in nature, migration to the surrounding structures such as thyroid gland and neck muscles and have been reported. However the migration into the trachea is an extremely rare occurrence. We present a patient with fish bone ingestion which pierced into the trachea wall which was successfully removed via bronchoscopy.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 02 No. 01 Jan’18.

Introduction: Ocular symptoms are uncommon manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Earlier study reported that dry eye, blurred vision, foreign body sensation, tearing, itching, conjunctival secretion, conjunctival congestion, ocular pain, and photophobia are among the ocular symptoms that could be found in COVID-19 patients. However, there are only a few reports available regarding corneal involvement in this disease. Here we report a case of keratoconjunctivitis as the only symptom of COVID-19 infection. Case description: A 27-year-old man who worked as an obstetrics and gynecology resident came to the outpatient clinic with the chief complaints of eye discomfort, foreign body sensation, conjunctival hyperemia, lacrimation, and photophobia in his right eye for the past 3 weeks. Fluorescence test showed a small corneal lesion. The patient was then diagnosed with keratoconjunctivitis. A week after the treatment, all symptoms were resolved. A month later, the patient came to the emergency room with the same eye complaints but with a more severe pain. The fluorescence test showed wider corneal lesion compared to last month. The result from the corneal swab is negative for bacterial or fungal infection, indicating a viral infection. Afterwards, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction test from nasopharyngeal swab was performed and revealed that the patient was positive for COVID-19. Conclusions: This case report showed that keratoconjunctivitis may occur as the only manifestation of COVID-19 infection. Thus, patient presented with unexplainable eye symptoms should be evaluated for COVID-19 infection.

<p>Foreign body sensation is a common complaint in the otorhinolaryngology emergency. Careful examination of the patient’s pharynx is mandatory, but sometimes the object is not visualized. In such scenario, it may be important to explore signs and symptoms indicating lower aerodigestive impaction. This work describes the case of a 73-year-old woman without relevant comorbidities attending to emergency care. She complained of a foreign body sensation on the right side of the throat after ingesting a meal, which motivated referral to otorhinolaryngology. Flexible transnasal nasopharyngoscopy was unremarkable and no foreign bodies were found. Auscultation was performed revealing low-pitch expiratory wheezing on her right hemithorax. The suspicion of bronchial foreign body was then raised, which was ultimately confirmed by imaging and bronchoscopy, showing an impacted pea on the right lower lobe bronchus. The stethoscope was hence determinant for detecting aspiration, by revealing consistent alterations. Its usage should be encouraged in similar scenarios, highlighting the role of this classic but sometimes forgotten tool. Importantly, higher neck/throat sensations should not exclude the possibility of a lower airway foreign body.</p>

INTRODUCTION: An ideal hernia repair should be tension free, tissue based, with no potential damage to vital structures, no long term pain or complications and no recurrence. Although Lichtenstein's prosthetic repair is simple and safe, but it is also correlated with risk of infections, recurrence, chronic pain, testicular atrophy and infertility, foreign body sensations and chronic groin sepsis. Desarda hernia repair does not require mesh and provide more physiological support. It is simple, easy to learn. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: a) To compare the operative time, postoperative stay and time required to return normal activity between two groups. b) To compare early complication rate and late complication rate between two groups. MATERIALAND METHODS: This observational study was conducted among patients admitted with the diagnosis of primary inguinal hernia in SMIMER, Surat. The patients were randomly allocated to either Lichtenstein or Desarda method of hernia repair. Operating time, post operative stay and duration of return to normal activity were recorded. Early complications were noted and the patients were followed up to 12 months for late complications (chronic pain, foreign body sensation, and recurrence). RESULTS: The mean operative time and postoperative stay did not show signicant differ for both groups. Patients operated by Desarda technique returned to normal activity signicantly early by 12.2 ± 2.54 days as compared to patients operated by Lichtenstein techniques (14.0 ± 2.76 days, p = 0.01). Most common early complication in both groups was pain (D group; 40.0%, Lgroup: 45.2%) followed by wound infection (D group; 8.0%, Lgroup: 6.5%) and seroma (D group; 0.0%, Lgroup: 3.2%). Occurrence of chronic pain was more in Lgroup (58.1%) as compared to D group (16.0%, p=0.001). None of the patients from D group had foreign body sensation. Foreign body sensation was observed only in ve patients of Lgroup (16.1%). Recurrence rate during one year in Lgroup (6.5%) was higher than D group (4.0%). CONCLUSION: Early return to work was potential benet of Desarda repair. Early complications were similar in both procedures. Desarda repair has lower incidence of chronic pain and foreign body sensation. However, there is no signicant difference for chronic pain in Desarda group when compared in same patients operated bilaterally with different technique. This study was conducted with small sample size with short follow up. Therefore, result of late complication in the present study may insufcient to conclude the probability of occurrence as longer follow up and larger sample size is required.

 Ectopic thyroid is the result of the failure of migration of thyroid along its tract from the floor of the primitive foregut to its final pretracheal position. The incidence of an ectopic lesion in adults is 7%. Most common location is the base of tongue (lingual). Other diverse sites are larynx, trachea, mediastinum, and pericardium. These ectopic tissues may develop the same diseases as the thyroid gland. Here, we report a case of a young female presenting with a foreign body sensation in the throat and on examination revealed a smooth submucosal swelling involving the supraglottis. The entire cyst was excised in toto by KTP 532 laser via an endolaryngeal approach and it was reported as papillary carcinoma of the thyroid. Literature search reported only a few cases of intralaryngeal ectopic thyroid and none with a papillary carcinoma of the larynx. This is the first reported case of papillary carcinoma of thyroid in the larynx.
