Penetrating head injury is a serious open cranial injury. In civilians, it is often caused by non-missile, low velocity flying objects that penetrate the skull through a weak cranial structure, forming intracranial foreign bodies. The intracranial foreign body can be displaced due to its special quality, shape, and location. In this paper, we report a rare case of right-to-left displacement of an airgun lead bullet after transorbital entry into the skull complicated by posttraumatic epilepsy, as a reminder to colleagues that intracranial metal foreign bodies maybe displaced intraoperatively. In addition, we have found that the presence of intracranial metallic foreign bodies may be a factor for the posttraumatic epilepsy, and their timely removal appears to be beneficial for epilepsy control.

기도이물은 이비인후과임상에서 가끔 볼 수 있는 질환으로, 때로는 순식간에 생명을 위협하거나 중증의 합병증을 초래하기도 하며 연령의 차이, 이물종류와 형태의 다양성, 이물 개재부위의 다변성으로 인하여 획일적으로 동일하게 처리될 수 없는 난점을 가지고 있다. 현대에 이르러 신속한 진단 및 내시경 및 검사법의 발전, 기타 보조기구의 발달등에 힘입어 불행한 결과를 취하는 예가 감소되기는 하였지만 항상 생명의 위험성을 내포하고 있다. 최근 저자들은 흥미하는 기도이물 3례를 경험하였기에 문헌적 고찰과 더불어 보고하는 바이다.

Objective This study was conducted to gather basic information of 3D CT in detecting and gaining information of esophageal foreign body (FB) models. Materials and Methods The chest model was made using PVC bottle, rubber balloon and plaster. Fish bone, Persimmon stone were used to mimic foreign bodies of esophageal model. The foreign body models were inserted into the balloon removing air from it and the balloon was sealed. The esophageal FB model was inserted into the chest model. The remaining space in the chest model was filled with fish paste and water to simulate soft tissue around esophagus. CT of chest model was reconstructed three-dimensionally by Rapidia software to make images of foreign body models. The axial CT, MPR image and VOI image were compared with real foreign body materials as to shape, size, location and orientation. Results Esophageal FB models were easily made. CT data gave good 3D images and showed realistic foreign body materials. Conclusion The results indicate the usefulness of 3D CT technique to help in diagnosis of esophageal foreign body models.

There are a lot of dental emergency situation. Especially on disabled or pediatric patient with negative behavior, accidental aspiration or ingestion of foreign body (ex: dental instrument) is one of the common accidents in dental procedure. Dentists and dental hygienists must have knowledge about the precaution and be ready to deal with foreign body aspiration during dental treatment, especially on the disabled. This is a case of an accident during the dental treatment of 14-year-old female patient with cerebral palsy. During scaling, prolonged retained primary tooth which had resorbed roots was fell into left bronchi. So we tried to remove the crown by endotracheal approach. Most ingested foreign bodies pass through the gastrointestinal tract spontaneously, but some of them need endoscopic or surgical removal. Moreover aspiration into broncho-trachea can be more serious events and must be treated as emergency situation.

이물질에 의한 주변조직의 반응성 변화는 염증, 부종, 액체저류, 혈종, 감염, 농양, 육아종 등의 다양한 형태를 보이며, 이물질의 종류와 시간 경과에 따라 다양한 영상소견을 보이기 때문에 연부조직 종양 등과 쉽게 혼동 할 수 있다. 자기공명 영상은 이물질의 방사선 투과성이나 음향 임피던스와 관계없이 진단할 수 있으며, 특히 주변조직의 변화를 잘 보여준다. 이에 저자들은 알약 분쇄물을 식염수와 섞어 전완에 주사한 후 발생한 종창으로 내원한 26세 여자의 자기공명 영상에서 무수히 많은 미세한 신호 강도 소실 물질과 주변의 액체저류 및 T1 저신호, T2 고신호 강도의 비균질성 조영증강 병변을 확인하였다. 이는 수술을 시행하여 흡수되지 않은 알약 분쇄물 및 주변의 액체저류와 염증반응으로 확인되었기에 이를 자기공명 영상소견과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

Seven male Himalayan tahrs were strongly assumed to have accidently fed on foreign bodies in 2007. At the time, zoo caretakers witnessed missing fence padding, such as carpet, plastic awning, and ropes. The incident occurred the morning after the items had been set up to protect indigenous, wild long-tailed gorals from self injury caused by head butting the steel fence. Adult male Himalayan tahrs were obviously suspected of mostly eating the paddings mainly composed of carpet, thin and long plastic awning, and ropes. Even though they had not shown digestive problems, surgery was determined necessary in order to remove any indigestible foreign bodies. Left flank rumenotomy was conducted on seven male Himalayan tahrs from April to May, 2011. After anesthesia with xylazine, rumenotomy was performed on a concrete floor, with legs and head secured by ropes. No access to water and hay prior to operation for two days was needed to make the surgical procedure done quickly. Two sheets of small hand towels protecting against inflow of ruminal contents were beneficial during surgery. Antibiotics were administered intramuscularly for seven days. No abscesses at the surgical site were found after surgery. Like domestic ruminants, wild ruminants also ingest metalic or non-metalic, indigestible foreign bodies by accident. Therefore, simplified rumenotomy must be developed to apply to those wild animals to lengthen their longevity and to advance the quality of life in captivity. This case report is the first showing how to perform rumenotomy of Himalayan tahr, a wild ruminant, in Korea.

A 6-years-old 30 kg male Germen Shepherd dog was presented with the history of abdominal pain, intermittent vomiting and anorexia. Abdominal survey radiography and ultrasonography revealed marked colonic distention. Positive contrast radiography revealed a colonic obstruction between the transverse colon and descending colon. Foreign bodies were identfied during colonoscopy. The descending colon was inflated by the air of endocope then foreign bodies were moved to the descending colon. Foreign bodies were removed by the enema. The dog's clinical signs resolved following foreign body removal.

It is often difficult to identify and localize intraorbital foreign bodies despite of modern high-resolution imaging investigation. Especially, posteriorly located foreign bodies have increased risks of morbidity that surgical approach is often complicated. No matter how trivial it seems, retained foreign body, particularly organic in nature, may give rise to severe orbital and cerebral complications. High clinical suspicion, proper diagnostic studies, timely referral to a skilled orbital surgeon are mandatory. We report a case of intraorbital wooden foreign body that required two separate exploration for removal. Initial exploration failed to identify and locate the foreign body completely. After the operation, fistula formation and purulent discharge were developed and the imaging investigation results were equivocal, complicating the management. A second exploration yielded multiple intraorbital wooden foreign body in the apex of orbit. The patient fully recovered without complication. The evaluations and the details of management strategy are discussed.
