A foreign body in the bronchus still presents problems.
Aspiration of a foreign body in young children is rare but can still cause considerable morbidity and mortality. The case of a 5 1/2-month-old infant with aspiration of a piece of apple is presented, together with a review of the literature.
Metastatic adenocarcinoma rib presenting as chondrosarcoma.
A case of chondrosarcoma rib which turned out to be a case of metastatic adenocarcinoma on histopathological examination is being presented.
Hepatitis in patients with surgical complications of pulmonary tuberculosis.
During last six years, 2250 patients were treated in Cardiothoracic Unit for thoracic complications of pulmonary tuberculosis. During isoniazid/streptomycin/ethambutol treatment, 2 patients out of 710 (0.28%) developed hepatitis. During isoniazid/rifampicin/ethambutol therapy, 18 patients out of 1540 (1.17%) suffered from jaundice; all these patients were above 30 years of age, and many had gross anemia (Hb less than 9 gm%), hypoalbuminemia (less than 3 gm%) and radiologically far-advanced disease in comparison to those who did not develop jaundice (p less than 0.05). Jaundice subsided completely after discontinuation of isoniazid and/or rifampicin which were re-instituted successfully after recovery without recurrence of hepatitis. It is suggested that the development of hepatitis does not warrant total withdrawal of these two highly effective bactericidal drugs but they should be tried again cautiously after recovery from jaundice.
A new role of bronchofibrescope in the removal of unusual intrapleural foreign bodies.
Successful removal of unusual intrapleural foreign bodies (surgical blades) by means of a bronchofibrescope (BFS) passed through the thoracostomy tube tract is reported. The potential role for the use of the fibreoptic bronchoscope for this purpose is emphasized.
Bilateral simultaneous pneumothorax--a study of 25 cases.
Twenty-five cases of bilateral simultaneous pneumothorax were studied. In children it was mostly postpneumonic, whereas in adults it was tuberculous or traumatic. Prompt intercostal drainage on both the sides supported by antibiotics and/or anti-tubercular drugs, and respiratory physiotherapy was curative on most occasions. The association of bronchopleural fistula or septicaemia worsens the prognosis.
Tooth in the bronchus--an unusual foreign body and presentation.
Tooth in right bronchus in a 60-year-old man who presented with recurrent episodes of chest infection, dyspnoea and haemoptysis is a rare clinical entity. The patient was cured after successful bronchoscopic removal of the tooth.
Corrosive pyloric stenosis--a report of two cases.
Two unusual cases of post corrosive pyloric stenosis in adults are reported. Both the cases were diagnosed clinically and confirmed by barium meal examination. Patients were discharged following anterior gastrojejunostomy. Follow-up examination did not reveal any problem. However, both of them are undergoing regular dilatation for the associated oesophageal stricture.
