Aspiration of foreign bodies into the airway is a common problem in spite of efforts to educate the public, and it can be sometimes fatal accidents. We clinically analyzed 101 cases of airway foreign bodies treated in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Korea University College of Medicine for the past 10 years comparing data with the previous articles. There was male predominance in the occurrence rate, being 72% in the male patients. The peak age was 1 to 3 years of age, and 84.2% was below age of 10. The most common symptom after foreign body aspiration was intractable cough, and obstructive emphysema was most commonly found on the initial chest X-rays. Foreign bodies were mainly located at the right main bronchus and left main bronchus was the next. Peanuts were the most common airway foreign bodies. Ventilating bronchoscopy was performed in the 99 cases and foreign bodies were successfully removed in most cases. There was 2 deaths(2%) resulted from hypoxia after bronchoscopy. The fact that complication rates increase with the duration of the foreign bodies in situ is clear. Therefore, prompt bronchoscopy in patients with suspected airway foreign bodies is essential for lower complication rates.

Foreign bodies impacted in the maxillofacial region are often a diagnostic challenge. They can be a source of chronic inflammatory reactions and infections leading to the formation of an orocutaneous fistula. Such orocutaneous fistulas cause significant morbidity in most patients, eventually requiring surgery. Recently, we encountered a very rare case of an orocutaneous fistula caused by multiple foreign bodies in the cheek. Precise removal of the foreign bodies was required, and a double-sided anterolateral thigh free flap was used to reconstruct the defect. Surgeons should be aware of the complications of multiple foreign bodies and should be able to diagnose these on careful clinical examination.

식도이물은 이비인후과 영역에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 질환으로 그에 대한 보고도 허다하다. 또한 그 종류도 여러가지로써 우리들 주위에 있는 모든 물건이 이물이 될 수 있다. 저자들은 최근에 드물고 흥미있는 식도이물 3례를 경험하였다. 식도이물은 내시경술을 시행하여 제거하였으며, 이들 제거된 이물들은 모두 정방형의 단단한 플라스틱 ？슐로 포장된 알약이었다. 여기 문헌고찰과 더불어 임상소견을 보고하는 바이다.

The inhalation of a foreign body into the tracheobronchial tree is a child is a life-threatening accident. Forgotten foreign bodies In the airways cause chronic pulmonary infections, allergic asthma, bronchiectatic changes, and lung abscess Foreign bodies that cannot be grasped by bronchoscopic forceps should be removed by thoracotomy and bronchotomy. This report describes our experience In 16 patients who were treated to remove inhaled foreign bodies from the airways after repeated bronchoscopies had been unsuccessful from 1963 to 1981 at the department thoracic surgery of Seoul National University Hospital. The surgical procedures are as follows: 12 patients bronchotomy, 2 patient pneumonectomy, 2 patients lobectomy. In these cases, the foreign bodies are 8 metallic material, 3 plastic material, 1 bean, 1 black snail, and 3 cases of no records. Bronchotomy must be performed as soon as possible in order to avoid more advanced pathologic changes In the Involved lung, such as bronchiectasis, fibrosis or abscess.

Retained wooden foreign bodies following penetrating trauma are a difficult diagnostic problem. However, penetrating wooden foreign bodies of head and neck have the potential for misinterpretation or failure to detect such foreign bodies on CT. Given the likelihood that such a miss will result in an abscess or neurovascular injury, we present the method with higher window settings, they had a higher attenuation with a unique striated internal architecture and different Hounsfield numbers readily differentiate air and non-air hypodense material such as fat, or possibly wood. Being aware of the potential appearance of wood, we may also find CT useful in excluding small retained fragments in postoperative patients with persistent symptoms. This article presents two cases in which wooden foreign bodies of head and neck were present with CT evaluation.

식도이물은 기도이물과 더불어 이비인후과영역에서 흔히 불 수 있는 질환으로서 그 발생동기가 환경 및 생활양식과 밀접한 관계가 있고 때로는 식도천공, 식도주위염, 식도주의농양, 종격동염, 기흉, 농흉 및 폐농양등의 중독한 합병증을 일으켜 생명에 위험을 초래하는 예도 적지 않다. 대부분의 식도이물은 식도경하에서 적출이 가능하지만, 이물이 식도내에 머물러 있으나 육아조직이 포위하여 식도경으로서 적출이 불가능 하든가 또는 이물이 식도벽을 뚫고 나가 형성한 농양내에 이물이 있을 매는 외과적수술에 의하여 경부나 흉부로 부터 들어가서 적출할 수 밖에 없다. 지금까지 국내외에서 식도이물에 관한 흥미로운 예나 그 종류 및 빈도에 대한 통계보고는 많았으나 이물자체로 인한 또 그 치료후에 발생한 합병증에 관한 보고는 별로 많지 않았다. 최근 저자들은 12재 남아에서 예리한 철사가 경부식도를 뚫고 나가 식도주위농양을 형성한 예와 40세 남자에서 음식물에 섞인 철사를 오연한 후 철사가 흉부식도를 뚫고 나가 식주위농양을 형성한 예를 각각 경부 및 흉부를 통한 외과적수술에 의하여 성공적으로 적출하여 완치시켰기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Background and Objectives Detailed information about the impacted esophageal foreign body is essential for safe extraction. Three dimensional reconstruction technique was applied to know shape, size and location of the simulative foreign bodies of stone, hyoid bone and endotracheal tube. Materials and Methods Submandibular gland stone, hyoid bone and endotracheal tube were used to simulate impacted foreign bodies. Axial CT, multi-planar reconstruction, volume of interest and virtual camera of Rapidia software were used to get information about the simulative foreign bodies from CT data. Shape and size were compared with the real materials. Exact locations were measured in appropriate modes of Rapidia. Results Shapes of the simulative foreign bodies matched well with the real materials. Size and location could be measured in various modes with some variable results. Conclusion 3D technique can be applied to get information about the simulative foreign bodies. This technique could be applied to the impacted esophageal foreign body.

식도 및 기도이물은 이비인후과 영역에서 비교적 흔히 볼 수 있는 질환의 하나로 이물은 대부분 돌발적 사고와 부주의에 의해 발생하며, 이물의 종류, 빈도, 성격 등은 일상생활과 밀접한 관계를 가지고 연령, 성별, 민족 등에 따라 다양하다. 식도 및 기도이물은 내시경적 방법으로 쉽게 치유되지만 진단과 치료가 지연되거나 기도 이물인 경우 심각한 합병증을 일으킬 수 있으므로 응급을 요하는 경우가 많고 이물의 종류, 개재부위, 이물의 상태 등에 따라 수술적 방법이 요구되는 경우도 있어 이비인후과 영역에서 중요한 질환으로 여겨져 왔으므로 이에 관하여 많은 문헌이 발표되었다. 저자들은 1980년 11월부터 1992년 10월까지 만 12년간 강남성모병원 이비인후과에서 경험한 식도 및 기도이물 285례를 대상으로 임상적 통계적 고찰을 시행하였다.

Purpose: The detection and exact localization of penetrating foreign bodies are crucial for the appropriate management of patients with dentoalveolar trauma. This study compared the efficacy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and spiral computed tomography (CT) scans for the detection of different foreign bodies composed of 5 frequently encountered materials in 2 sizes. The effect of the location of the foreign bodies on their visibility was also analyzed. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, metal, tooth, stone, glass, and plastic particles measuring 1×1×1 mm and 2×2×2 mm were prepared. They were implanted in a sheep's head in the tongue muscle, nasal cavity, and at the interface of the mandibular cortex and soft tissue. CBCT and spiral CT scans were taken and the visibility of foreign bodies was scored by 4 skilled maxillofacial radiologists who were blinded to the location and number of foreign bodies. Results: CT and CBCT were equally accurate in visualizing metal, stone, and tooth particles of both sizes. However, CBCT was better for detecting glass particles in the periosteum. Although both imaging modalities visualized plastic particles poorly, CT was slightly better for detecting plastic particles, especially the smaller ones. Conclusion: Considering the lower patient radiation dose and cost, CBCT can be used with almost equal accuracy as CT for detecting foreign bodies of different compositions and sizes in multiple maxillofacial regions. However, CT performed better for detecting plastic particles.
