Neglected Foreign Body Bronchus: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Research and Review - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Foreign body aspiration is a life threatening and one of the most common causes of mortality in infants. Complications associated with trachea-bronchial foreign bodies depend on the nature, size, shape and duration of impaction of the foreign body. A long standing foreign body elicits inflammation around it leading to oedema and formation of granulation tissue in the surrounding mucosa making the foreign body removal difficult. Rigid bronchoscopy is the intervention of choice in trachea-bronchial foreign bodies. In this case report, a case of long standing trachea-bronchial foreign body was referred to our institute which was missed by the paediatrician. Diagnostic bronchoscopy was done to rule out the cause of chronic cough and fever. Vegetative foreign body was identified and retrieved successfully without any post op complication. In conclusion, delay in the diagnosis of foreign body bronchus increases morbidity and mortality.
