Esophageal foreign body aspiration presenting as asthma in the pediatric patient.

This report describes three cases of foreign body ingestion incorrectly diagnosed as asthma and/or upper respiratory tract infection. These cases demonstrate the need for further clinical investigations in any child who does not improve with adequate therapy. Many of our patients had symptoms of asthma and/or respiratory tract infection for at least 1 month before correct diagnosis.

Transpleural subclavian central venous catheter placement in a child with scoliosis discovered during a thoracotomy.

Placement of central venous catheters in dysmorphic children can be difficult because of distortion of normal anatomical landmarks. We present such a case of a 16 year-old child who had a central venous catheter inserted in the left subclavian vein. Although a conventional roentgenogram was consistent with correct placement, the catheter was found to traverse the pleural space before entering the subclavian vein.
