During surgical procedures, unexpected material, including surgical instruments and tissue segments, may get lost in the surgical field. Most of these should be immediately removed to prevent further complications, such as vital organ irritation, infection, and inflammatory pseudo-tumor formation. However, it is not always easy to define the exact location of the foreign body, especially if the item is very small and/or it is embedded in the soft tissue of the head and neck region. Intraoperative real-time radiological imaging with C-arm fluoroscopy can be useful to trace the three-dimensional location of small and embedded foreign bodies in the oral and maxillofacial area. We describe an unusual case of an embedded micro-screw in the intrinsic tongue muscle that had been dropped into the sublingual space during a lower alveolar bone graft procedure. The lost foreign body was accurately identified with C-arm fluoroscopy and safely removed without any further complications.

Most of bronchial foreign bodies can be removed by ventilation bronchoscopy through transoral route but sometimes, ventilation bronchoscopy through tracheostomy is helpful procedure. Recently, we have experienced a case of bronchial foreign body which could be easily removed by nasal endoscopy and Blakesley forcep instead of bronchoscopy. So we report this case with a review of literatures.

Purpose: Now the CT scanner and PACS program proved to be an excellent instrument for detection and localization of most facial foreign bodies above certain minimum levels of detectability. The severity of injury in penetrating trauma on the face is often underestimated in physical examination. Wood, with its porous consistency and organic nature, provides a good medium for microbial agents. This is a report of our recent experience with wooden foreign bodies in the parotid gland imaged with CT. Methods: A 9-year-old boy was referred for evaluation of possible retained foreign body within his face. One day earlier, he had fallen, face down approximately 1 miter onto ground. He had subsequently undergone an exploration of his right parotido-masseteric area at an outside hospital with repair of a right facial laceration. Enhanced 2 mm axial and coronal CT scans were obtained through the face. Axial and coronal CT images were obtained with a General Electric(Milwaukee, Wis) 9800 CT scanner at 130 kV, 90 mA, with a 2 mm section thickness. Results: We finally decided the linear "gas" attenuation was a foreign body because of its linear configuration, which did not conform to that of an anatomic structure, and on the basis of articles that described a wood foreign body in the orbit as having the appearance of air. We found that wood was hypoattenuating($-464{\pm}27HU$). Conclusion: We recommend this type of software program for CT scanning for any patient with an injury on the face in which a foreign body is suspected.

저자들은 기관지 내에 이물이 있음을 알고도 장기간 간과하여 이로 인해 대량객혈과, 폐쇄성 폐렴 등이 발생하였고 이물의 자발적인 제거로 임상 증상 및 방사선적인 호전을 보인 증례 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. 또한 증상이 없는 폐 이물질이 우연히 발견된 경우에도 향후 이물질로 인한 합병증 발생의 가능성을 생각해서 제거에 대한 필요성을 환자에게 적극적으로 알릴 필요가 있다는 점을 느낀 증례이다.

기도 이물은 이비인후와 영역에서 중요한 위치를 차지하고 있는 질환으로서, 타 질환에 비하여 그리 드문 것은 아니며 지금까지 국내외에서 많은 보고가 있어왔다. 기도 이물은 때로는 순식간에 생명을 위협하거나 중증의 합병증을 초래하기도 하며, 이물의 종류와 형태도 다양할 뿐 아니라 그 개재부위도 달라서 이물적출은 항상 낙관을 불허하는 것으로 수술적 방법을 요할때도 있다. 저자들은 최근에, 이물이 자연 객출된 1예와 기관지경술로 성공한 4예 및 외과적 수술로 제거한 2 예를 경험하였기에 문헌적 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Food bolus impaction is the most common cause of esophageal foreign body obstruction in adults. Other causes include intentional ingestion in psychiatric patients or prison inmates. We experienced successful treatment of a patient with intentional ingestion of multiple sharp foreign bodies(25 cutter and razor fragments). A 47-year-old male patient who was suffering from chronic alcoholism was admitted, via the emergency room, with dysphagia and neck pain. He was suffering from alcoholic liver cirrhosis and psychiatric problems, such as chronic alcoholism, anxiety disorder and insomnia. The patient had intended to leave the hospital after having swallowed the sharp objects. Plain radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scan showed multiple, scattered metal fragments in the esophagus, stomach, and small bowel. We performed emergent endoscopy and successfully removed one impacted blade in the upper esophagus using by a snare with an overtube. The rest of the fragments had already passed through the pylorus, so we could not find them with endoscopy. We checked the patient with simple abdominal radiographs and careful physical examinations every day. All remaining fragments were uneventfully excreted through stool during the patient's 6 day hospital stay. Finally, we were able to confirm the presence of the objects in the stool, and radiographs were negative. The patient was discharged without complications after 14 days hospital stay and then was followed by the Department of Psychiatry.

Fracture of tracheostomy tube with subsequent migration into the tracheobronchial tree is rare, but tracheobronchial foreign body in child carries the potentially fatal risk of respiratory obstruction, We report a case of a 5-year-old girl who had aspirated a fractured tracheostomy tube which was removed under rigid bronchoscope.

이비인후과영역의 이물중 특히 소아에서 많이 보는 동전에 의한 식도이물은 임상경험을 통해 수 없이 많은 예를 접해 온 것이 사실이다. 시대의 변천, 생활의 다양화에 따라 이물의 종류도 다양해 지는 것을 경험할 수 있다. 저자들은 최근 15개월된 여아에서 식도의 제 1협착 부위에 저류된 뻐스토큰을 제거하였기에 주의를 환기시키는 의미에서 이를 보고하는 바이다.

The purpose of this study was to introduce the radiography for the natural course and clinical diagnosis of foreign body ingestion and aspiration, to help diagnosis and treatment, to evaluate the accuracy of radiographic images of pediatric patients. A 2 to 7 year-old patient who ingested a foreign body was ingested and aspirated with foreign substances such as coin, cloth pin, earring, baduk stone, and hairpins, and chest and abdomen of the plain radiography. The pediatric patient who ingested and aspirated the foreign body of the coins, the clothespins, the earrings, the stones, and the hairpins were examined by chest and abdomen of the plain radiography and fluoroscopic images. The radiography examination can be combined to effectively cope with the treatment and the treatment of the foreign substance removal. It can be applied to the diagnosis of foreign body in pediatric patient's clinic and appropriate treatment and treatment direction.
