Medial Migration

Myringotomy and grommet insertion is a common surgical procedure in paediatric. It is relatively simple and safe procedure but few complications has been documented. We presented here a case of migration of grommet ventilation tube into the medial ear which is a very rare complication.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(3) 2018 p.493-495

A 19 years old married female presented with severe upper abdominal pain, repeated vomiting having history of swallowing a knife 7 months ago was admitted in Mordern Clinic and Diagnostic center, Joypurhat, Bangladesh. USG abdomen & X-ray (fig-1) abdomen were done when presence of a large foreign body (knife fig-3) in abdomen was made which latter on confirmed by Endoscopy of upper GIT (fig-2). Surprisingly the patient kept it in her abdomen for 7 months without any symptoms until the symptoms got worse and compelled her to seek medical help. The knife was removed by laparotomy, gastrotomy with uneventful recovery.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.14(2) 2015 p.210-212

Abstract Background: Foreign body (FB) ingestion is a frequent gastrointestinal emergency in pediatric population. Improvement in endoscopic techniques and equipment enables nonsurgical management in most situations. Recent data from India on pediatric FB ingestion have been lacking. Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the profile and outcome after endoscopic management of patients <18 years of age presenting with FB ingestion. Patients and Methods: Records of all the children with FB ingestion who had undergone endoscopic removal at our institution during 5 years (2011–2016) were assessed retrospectively. The nature of FB ingested, and success and complication of endoscopic therapy were analyzed. Results: There were 150 pediatric endoscopies during the study period. Of this, 120 (80%) were for removal of ingested FB. Most common (MC) FB was coin (69%). The retrieved FBs were 83 coins, 13 batteries, 5 pins, 4 clips, 2 each of anklets, keys, marbles, and seeds, one each of spoon, blade, spanner, peanut, toe ring, and a pencil. One had trichobezoar. Esophagus was the MC site of location of FB (85/120). FB removal was successful by flexible endoscopy in 97.1%. Four (0.03%) cases were referred for rigid endoscopic/surgical removal by otolaryngologists/ pediatric surgeon. Except for one child developed bronchopneumonia, there was no morbidity or mortality in the study. Conclusion: Endoscopic removal of FB is a safe procedure with excellent outcomes in a specialized gastroenterology unit.

Bronchoscopy is performed for diagnostic or therapeutic purpose. Therapeutic bronchoscopy is mainly done for removal of foreign body from lower airway. Both the condition and procedure itself are associated with high mortality and morbidity. The aim of the study was to audit data regarding demography, types and location of foreign body, onset of symptom, admission duration, clinical and investigation findings along with duration of ventilation. We also highlight on the complications pertaining to the condition in our series. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.18(4) 2019 p.779-782

Fifty percent of patients were five years or less in age at the time of admission. 32.1% were between 5 to 14 years and 17.9% were between the age range of 60-92 years. Seven patients (2.9%) had a history of esophageal anomalies requiring operation. Different types of foreign bodies ingested most common being coin. Majority of foreign bodies (75/84, 89.2%) were located in the post cricoid and upper esophagus followed by the mid-esophagus, and only 3 cases involved the lower esophagus.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The most common foreign bodies in children are coin and toys. Sharp foreign bodies are difficult remove but need to be removed carefully at the earliest to prevent dreaded complications like - retropharyngeal abscess and mediastinitis. Loose fitting dentures are common foreign body in elderly patients.</p>

A delayed detection of foreign body airway implicated high morbidity. The longer duration of the foreign body in the lung can lead to a more sinister complication. A radiolucent foreign body, non organic foreign body and unwitnessed foreign body ingestion contribute significantly to the delay in the diagnosis of foreign body aspiration. We report a case of an undiagnosed radio opaque foreign body in the right bronchus for five months in a 8-year-old child, which the onset of foreign body ingestion was witnessed by parents. Eventually he presented with pneumonia and atelectasis. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.18(4) 2019 p.820-822

Myringotomy with ventilation tube placement is a common surgical procedure performed in children and adults to remove fluid build-up behind the tympanic membrane. However, retention of tubes beyond achievement of therapeutic response increases risk for complications and additional intervention. This small feasibility study was conducted to demonstrate proof-of-concept of a novel bioabsorbable ventilation tube (BVT) that provides the necessary duration of ventilation with absorption shortly thereafter in human adult patients. BVTs were placed in 15 ears of 14 patients meeting indications for short or intermediate-duration of middle ear ventilation. Two independent examiners documented eardrum status. BVT patency and BVT absorption status at 3, 6, and 12 week intervals until absorption was complete. Results indicate that average ventilation time was 12 weeks (range 3 weeks to 18 months). There was no observation of blockage. These findings support the safety and utility of a novel bioabsorbable ventilation tube.

Foreign body in the ear including beads and seeds is not uncommon in children. Tick also has been a common aural foreign body especially in tropical climate countries. Although in older cooperative children it can be attempted in the clinic setting, most of paediatric aural foreign bodies require general anaesthesia. In addition, a general practitioner setting may impose additional limitations. The available instruments and experience maybe be different from a tertiary referral centre. We report a case of a 3-year-old child with left ear pain for 4 days associated with loud crying when the pinna was touched. It has been worsening until the cry became continuous. The mother was quite hesitated to bring the child to hospital because of the lockdown situation. She sought nearby general practitioner where the engorged tick was removed without any complication in that clinic alone. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.19(0) 2020 p. S 82-S 84

AbstractTwenty-five children with a range of nasal foreign bodies, which were not easily amenable to anterior instrumental extraction, were considered for this study. These foreign bodies were removed by the use of a Fogarty biliary balloon catheter (Intimax) successfully in 23 children. In two children no foreign body was found. None of the children had any complications.This is a safe procedure which can be performed as an out-patient. Whilst the cost of the catheter may appear expensive, in comparison to the cost of admission for removal of similarly sited foreign bodies under general anaesthesia, the catheter fares favourably.

Foreign body denture is common among edentulous adults because of decrease the sensitivity of the oral cavity. Carelessness in handling dentures and failure to seek early medical attention even the denture has broken are among the contributing factors. Persistence of symptoms with normal radiograph findings still require further actions which include surgical intervention. Rigid esophagoscopy remain as standard treatment modality for removal of foreign body.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(3) 2018 p.515-517
