Yabancı cisim aspirasyonu sonrası gelişen reversible bronşektazi

Bronşektazi subsegmental hava yollarının anormal ve kalıcı dilatasyonu olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Yalancı bronşektazi ise pnömoni sonrası gelişen, akut enfeksiyonun iyileşmesinden birkaç hafta veya ay sonra düzelen geçici bronş dilatasyonudur. Genellikle silindirik tipte olur. Bu çalışmada, yabancı cisim aspirasyonunu takiben sol alt lobda bronşektazik değişiklikler gelişmiş dokuz yaşında bir pediatrik hasta sunuldu. Bronşektazi yabancı cisim aspirasyonundan üç hafta sonra gelişmişti ve yabancı cismin çıkartılmasından sonra medikal tedavi ile tamamen düzeldi.
