Unusual Case Report

Objective. The presence of an upper airway foreign body is an emergent, potentially life-threatening situation that requires careful but rapid evaluation and management. Organic or nonorganic material may typically be found in the pyriform sinuses or tongue base or may be aspirated directly into the tracheobronchial tree. We present here an unusual case report of a patient who accidentally ingested a plastic bread clip that was lodged in his subglottis for 15 months and report successful removal in the office under local anesthesia.Methods. Mucosal anesthesia was achieved with inhaled 4% lidocaine spray. Flexible laryngoscopic removal of the foreign body was then successfully accomplished.Results. The patient’s symptoms resolved completely following removal, with no sequelae.Conclusions. Office removal of airway foreign bodies is feasible and can be safely done with adequate topical anesthesia, but great caution and emergency planning must be exercised.

Medical Morbidity

<p class="abstract">Nasal foreign body is common in children. In adults it is common among mentally retarded, psychiatric patients or is iatrogenic. As most of foreign body in a neuropsychiatry patient goes unnoticed, by the time the patient reaches the surgeon, it will be associated with its complications. So we as doctors should have this in back of mind when we examine a psychiatry or a mentally retarded patient and thorough clinical examination should be done irrespective of the patient’s complaints. We encountered a 25 year old male psychiatric patient presented with complaints of fullness and pain in both ears for three days. The patient had drug abused to cannabis, nicotine, alcohol and inhaling fevibond for four years. On examination bilateral tympanic membrane was intact with no signs of bleeding. Throat was clinically normal. Anterior rhinoscopy visualised a blackish hard mass with a yellowish green mucopurulent discharge in both the nasal cavity. On removal there were multiple variant foreign bodies and a large septal perforation in anterior aspect of septum was visualised. In psychiatry patients, there is a risk of foreign body insertions. This is a great challenge from clinical examination, diagnosing, removal to treating complications if any. Timely detection and prompt treatment will reduce medical morbidity. In this report we try to emphasize the importance of meticulous clinical examination in a psychiatric patient.</p><p> </p>

A complex case of chronic tongue biting in a mentally retarded, adolescent hemophiliac is presented to demonstrate principles of comprehensive care. Problems arising out of (1) the psychosocial status of the child and parents, (2) psychodynamics of individual physicians, and (3) group dynamics of the medical team are described. Specific countermeasures are spelled out. Particular attention is given to the problems faced by clinic and ward pediatrics in dealing with chronic, life-threatening illness when continuous monitoring of psychogenic factors is essential to appropriate management.

Background: The foreign body aspiration is very common while performing a dental procedure. Most of the patients are from lower age group as these group of people have high amount of sugar and starch containing diet which is not good for the oral health. But it is not limited to them and several aged patients are also victim of foreign body aspiration. Summary: Foreign bodies can be anything from cloth dam, barrier techniques itself to broken tooth. Due to age related delayed gag reflex and impact of anesthesia can be possible reasons behind the foreign body aspiration. Pulmonary aspiration is a serious cause of concern and cannot be neglected. It can go unnoticed which can brought to cognizance after careful study and observation of the radiographs. Endoscopic procedures are used to locate and extract the foreign body from the lungs. Conclusion: Proper guidelines regarding the extraction of foreign body extraction and identification must be followed as it is life threatening condition. Vulnerable age group must be treated with extra caution and every chance of mistake must be covered. Standard operating procedure must be strictly adhered to in order rot have maximum accuracy.

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. Extraluminal Migration of Foreign Body: A Report of Two Cases. Int J Head Neck Surg 2013;4(2):98-101.
