“…Their results confi rmed previous reports found in the medical literature, showing that the risk of injury or death posed by food, toy or toy part, or another object depends upon its size, shape, and consistency. [15,16] In our series, we have observed three cases with complications. Two cases of acquired TEF were due to disc batteries, and one case of perforation peritonitis was due to sharp nail.…”

Introduction: Foreign bodies in the digestive tract are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in paediatric age group and pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges We performed this study to evaluate our experience of foreign bodies of digestive tract in children over a fi ve year period in a tertiary referral center. Patients and Method: A retrospective study was conducted over a 5-year period between April 2009 and March 2013. All patients who were managed for foreign body in digestive tract up to 12 years of age were included and analysis was performed from case record of patients. Results: Total 97 patients with FB in digestive tract were included in the study FB was most commonly lodged in Upper esophagus in 61 patients, middle esophagus in 12 cases lower third of esophagus in 14 cases and beyond gastro-oesophageal junction in 10 cases. The most common clinical presentations were dull pain. Coins were the most common type of foreign body in the esophagus accounting for 71.1% of patients. Plain neck and chest x-rays antero-posterior and lateral view was diagnostic in all cases, with all FB being opaque. Rigid oesophagoscopy and removal under general anesthesia was the main treatment modality performed in 63 (65.8%) and Magill forceps extraction was done in 20 cases. Conclusion: Foreign bodies in digestive tract of children are a common problem with diverse presentation. Disc battery ingestion is prone for complication and expedient removal is required & associated conditions can pose risk for lodgment of foreign bodies.

“…The reason for a relatively small percentage (about 0.60% of foreign bodies) is a result of the protection of airways with epiglottis, arytenoids and coughing reflex. The main sites for impaction are, in order, right source bronchus, left source bronchus and trachea 1-3. According to the literature [1][2][3][4][5] , most of the cases happen up to 3 years of age, with slight predominance of male. The most frequent aspirated objects are seeds, including, among others, beans, rice and peanuts, and small metal and plastic objects, such as fragments or parts of toys.…”

A 70 year-old man, with a 7-year tracheotomy because of a laryngeal tumor, had an accident during daily canulla cleansing procedure, aspirating a piece of the cleaning brush. Chest radiograph showed metallic foreign body at the right inferior bronchus. Rigid bronchoscopy was performed under general anesthesia, with no resistance in passing the tube through the glottis. The foreign body was easily removed and the patient had no complications. After leaving the hospital, the patient was sent to the ENT service where he used to be followed up.

…ZET SUMMARYAs a very serious reason of accidental deaths in childhood, we have aimed to investigate deaths due to foreign body aspiration (FBA), since its incidence has not decreased despite advances in the techniques and instruments for its emergency treatment.We retrospectively reviewed the records of forensic cases due to FBA examined at the DiyarbakÝr Branch of the Council of Forensic Medicine between 1990 and 2003. Over this period this office investigated 8330 medicolegal deaths cases, 22 of which were children under 15 years of age due to FBA.Of the victims, 14 (63.6%) were male and 8 (36.4%) were females. The mean age of the victims was 2.2±0.6 years. There were 20 (90.9 %) children between 1 and 3 years, and two other cases at 2/12 and 5 years of ages. All fatal aspirations occurred at home. Food was the most commonly aspirated foreign body in 81.8% of the cases, nuts being the most common in 50%. Carina (54.5%) was the most common site of the foreign body in the respiratory tract.In conclusion, food asphyxiation remains a common problem particularly in children between 1 and 3 years of age in our region. These fatal accidents could be prevented by parent education and early recognition and management of the situation.Key words: Foreign body, aspiration, child, death GÜRÜÞ ‚ocukluk •aÛÝ kaza šlŸmlerinin šnemli bir bšlŸmŸ-nŸ olußturan yabancÝ cisim aspirasyonu (YCA) •ok ciddi bir kazadÝr (1-6).
