BACKGROUND
Foreign bodies in the airway can be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
UNASSIGNED
30-month-old girl with complaints of noisy and fast breathing following fall over a pile of sand. Sand was suctioned out by direct bronchoscopy. The child improved initially but condition worsened in next four days with marked stridor and wheeze.
METHODS
Imaging revealed elongated sharp radiodense opacity in the cervical region, suggestive of foreign body. At repeat bronchoscopy, paint material was removed from the airway, leading to recovery.
UNASSIGNED
Paint material mixed in the sand can adhere to the walls of the airway, and cause persistent symptoms of obstruction.
