ABSTRACT Ingested foreign body is one of the most frequently encountered emergencies in otolaryngology practice. Many of these foreign bodies get lodged in the upper digestive tract and can be removed endoscopically. Few of these foreign bodies can perforate the upper digestive tract and an even smaller number of these can migrate extraluminally. Although, a migrating foreign body can remain quiescent, they can cause life-threatening suppurative or vascular complications; hence, location and removal is essential. Here we report two cases of extraluminal migration of foreign body which was removed by neck exploration. How to cite this article Divya GM, Hameed AS, Ramachandran K, Vinayak KV.

Objective: This study used phased array imaging algorithm to explore the epidemiological characteristics of endoscopic treatment of upper gastrointestinal foreign bodies to provide a basis for nursing intervention. Methods: We collected data on the age, sex, cause, type of foreign body, success rate of removal, retention location, time and complications of patients with foreign bodies in the upper gastrointestinal tract who were treated in the emergency department of the Digestive Endoscopy Center in our hospital. The study was conducted from January 2018 to December 2020 and we also performed statistical analysis. Results: The high incidence of foreign bodies in the upper digestive tract was in 45 years old to 74 years old patients. The foreign body types were mostly food balls and sharp foreign bodies, accounting for 37.0% and 44.2%, respectively. The cause was misuse and the most accounted for 52.1%, followed by oesophageal pathological stenosis which accounted for 45.5%. The oesophagus in the retention site accounted for up to 80.0%, and the success rate of foreign body extraction was 96.4%. The complications of patients with foreign body retention within twenty four our retention were mainly esophageal scratches and traumatic esophagitis, accounting for 48.5%. 39.6%. Conclusion: There are high risks in the treatment of foreign bodies in the upper digestive tract. Targeted, prospective, and streamlined nursing interventions can provide patients with fast and professional medical care services and minimize patient pain. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.6-WIT.4858 How to cite this:Liu N.

Introduction : The inhalation of foreign body is a common cause of respiratory distress in children. Anesthesia for this endoscopy represents a challenge for the anesthesiologist. Objective : To assess the anesthetic management of foreign body extraction of the lower respiratory tracts in a context of limited resources. Patients and methods : This is a retrospective study in descriptive aim, over 3 years from 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2016. It involved patients admitted for foreign bodies of the lower respiratory tracts in Resuscitation service and ENT in Souro Sanou University Hospital Center in Bobo-Dioulasso . Results : A total of 46 patients were hospitalized for foreign bodies of the lower respiratory tracts during the study period. The mean age of the patients was 2.6 years ± 8.23. Patients were predominantly male with 27 cases (58.70 %), a sex ratio of 1.42. The foreign bodies were of organic type in 82.60% of the cases, against 17.4 % of non organic. The location of foreign bodies was laryngeal in 03 cases (06.52%), tracheal in 06 cases (13.04%) and bronchial in 37 cases (80.43%). The average consultation time was 3.12 days ± 4.7. The circumstances of discovery were a notion of penetration syndrome in 69.57%, respiratory dyspnea in 91.30%, a queasy cough in 56.52% of cases and a chance discovery in 2.17% of cases. . The foreign bodies were radio-opaque in 17.39% of cases. Extraction of foreign bodies was performed under general anesthesia. In intraoperative operating room, incidents / accidents were noted in 23.91 %. Operative follow-up was simple in 82.60% of cases and complications were recorded in 15.21% of cases. Conclusion : Foreign bodies of the lower respiratory tracts remain a topical issue for the child. The therapeutic treatment is based on the realization of a Laryngo-tracheo-bronchial endoscopy, under general anesthesia by an experienced crew.

Ingested foreign bodies are not unusual in Singapore. The most common of these objects are fish bones, which typically become lodged in the tonsils or in the base of the tongue. We report a rare case of an ingested fish bone that migrated from the upper digestive tract and into the soft tissues of the neck just below the skin.

Migrated ingested foreign bodies from the upper digestive tract have the potential to cause life-threatening complications. Cases of spontaneous expulsion to the skin of the neck are very rare. We present an unusual case of an ingested foreign body that migrated out of the upper digestive tract and self-extruded via the skin of the neck. An approach to the safe management of such seemingly innocuous foreign bodies is discussed. This report highlights the message that unfound ingested foreign bodies should be treated seriously due to the possibility of migration and resulting complications.
