Pyothorax induced by an intrathoracic foreign body in a miniature dachshund: Migration of a popsicle stick from the stomach

Abstract: A four-year-old dachshund presented with a two-week history of pyrexia, depression, and cough. Four months earlier, the owner observed the dog swallow a whole popsicle stick, but the animal showed no clinical signs at that time. Radiography, ultrasonography, and computed tomography confirmed an intrathoracic linear foreign body and pleural effusion in the right thorax. The pleural fluid was bloody and purulent, and contained inflammatory cells and Escherichia coli. The dog was diagnosed with pyothorax induced … Show more

“…Intrathoracic cranial migration of wooden skewer-like foreign bodies has been sporadically reported in the veterinary literature (Matteuci et al 1999, Hunt et al 2004, Sereda et al 2009, Stander & Kirberger 2011, Choi & Han 2017. The most common clinical signs noticed in these reports were pyrexia (Sereda et al 2009, Stander & Kirberger 2011, Choi & Han 2017 and draining sinus tracts (Matteuci et al 1999, Hunt et al 2004), which differ from the cases presented in this study. This finding is not unexpected due to the pleomorphic characteristics of these types of injuries depending on the location of the foreign body.…”

“…In the limited number of previously described cases of intrathoracic penetrating wooden foreign bodies (Hunt et al 2004, Stander & Kirberger 2011, Choi & Han 2017, an excellent short-term prognosis was reported when surgical management was undertaken. The majority of dogs (4/5) presenting with this clinical entity in the previous reports recovered uneventfully and survived to discharge if surgery had been performed (Hunt et al 2004, Stander & Kirberger 2011, Choi & Han 2017, including when cardiac or pericardiac injuries were present (Sereda et al 2009). However, the previously reported non-survival case was euthanased at presentation due to the age of the patient, severity of thoracic changes and surgical risk (Stander & Kirberger 2011).…”

“…Ebenso können Die konventionelle Versorgung hängt von der Lokalisation des Fremdkörpers und dem Ausmaß der Veränderungen ab. Ist nur eine Seite vom Thorax betroffen, wird meistens im entsprechenden Interkostalraum eine laterale Thorakotomie durchgeführt [21]. Betreffen die Veränderungen beide Thoraxseiten, wird eine Sternotomie durchgeführt [6].…”

“…Der Pyothorax kann während des Eingriffs gespült und der Fremdkörper entfernt werden. Ist der Fremdkörper in einem Lungenlappen lokalisiert, kann eine Lungenlappenresektion durchgeführt werden [21].…”
