Foreign body aspiration in children-A diagnostic challenge
Çocuklarda yabancı cisim aspirasyonunun klinik sunumu değişkendir. Hızlı ve doğru tanı koymak için klinisyenler şüpheci olmalıdırlar. Bu makalede 54 gün boyunca anlaşılamayan bir yabancı cisim aspirasyonu olgusunu sunuyoruz. Daha önceden sağlıklı olan çocuk aniden havayolu obstrüksiyonu ile uyumlu ve tıbbi tedaviye dirençli açıklanamayan semptomlar gösterdiğinde yabancı cisim aspirasyonu düşünülmelidir.
Çocuklarda yabancı cisim aspirasyonu – Bir tanısal zorluk
The clinical presentation of foreign body aspiration in children is variable. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion in order to make a prompt and correct diagnosis. In this paper,we present a case of foreign body aspiration that had gone unrecognized for 54 days. Foreign body aspiration should be considered whenever a previously healthy child suddenly exhibits unexplained symptoms usually consistent with airway obstruction which is refractory to medical treatment.
