Foreign bodies of the upper aerodigestive tract in the pediatric population are a common occurrence. However, despite significant advances in prevention, first aid and endoscopic technology, they remain a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Early diagnosis is the key to successful and uncomplicated management of these accidents. An orderly and systematic approach to these patients including a careful history, physical exam and radiographic studies is detailed in this review.

식도이물은 이비인후과 영역에서 응급을 요하는 경우로서 진단 및 치료가 지체되면 예기치 않은 불행한 사태가 일어날 수 있다. 저자들은 1975년부터 1977년까지 3년간 본원에서 시도된 50례의 기도이물에 대해 고찰하였다. 1. 남여비는 2.8 : 1이였다. 2. 연령은 3개월부터 52세 사이였으며, 1세부터 5세까지가 58%로 가장 많았다. 3. 주증상은 해수: 68%, 호흡곤란: 52%, 청색증;18% 순이었다. 4. 기도이물 진단시 병력이 확실한 경우는 66%이었다. 처음 오진율은 28% 이었으며 그중 57.1%가 상기도감염으로 인한 오진이었다. 5. 처음 내원시 청진상 호흡음 감소가 46%로 가장 많았으며 그 다음 천식음이 24%, 정상이 26%이였다. 방사선 검사상 폐기종이 82%, 폐부전확장이 20%이었으며, 정상범위가 18%이었다. 6. 내원까지의 기간은 24시간이내가 48%로 가장 많았으며, 가장 오래된 것은 1년반 이었다. 내원후 제거까지의 기간은 24시간 이내가 68%이며 가장 오래 걸린 예는 9일이었다. 7. 치료는 기관절개한 경우가 24%로 그 중 75%가 식물성 기도이물이었다. Ventilating bronchoscopy로 치유된 경우는 72%이었으며. 자연배출된 경우가 8%, 기관절개창으로 자연배출된 경우가 6%, 개흉술 치유된 경우가 6%, 그외 사망, 후두직달경, 기관직달경에 의한 제거가 각각2% 이었다. 8. 기도이물의 종류는 식물성 46%, 금속성 28%, 프라스틱 18%, 동물뼈 8%이었다. 9. 이물의 소재는 기관 16% 우측기관지 52%, 좌측기관지 28%, 미상 4%이었다.

성인에서의 잠복 기관지 이물은 소아의 기관지내 이물 흡인과 달리 매우 드물며 아직까지 기관지나 폐의 연관손상 정도와 잠복기간에 따른 치료전략이 정립되어 있지 않은 상태다. 과거력상 반복적인 기침과 객담, 발열을 경험하였으나 30년 전에 사인펜 뚜껑이 기도내로 흡인되었던 사실을 인지하지 못하던 40세 남자 환자가 동일 주소와 영상검사상 우중엽 및 하엽의 허탈과 폐쇄성 폐간질염 소견으로 전원되었다. 처음엔 기관지경 이물 제거와 내과적 치료를 계획하였으나 제거가 불가능하였고 결국 개흉후 양엽 절제를 통해 치료하였다. 저자들은 본 증례가 잠복성 기관지 이물의 다양한 임상상 축적에 중요한 정보를 제공하였다고 생각한다.

Most ingested foreign bodies pass readily throughout intestinal tract if they reach the stomach. In some cases, foreign bodies may be impacted behind a luminal constriction but are rare in colon. Here, we report the case of a 59-year-old man who did laparoscopic anterior resection due to sigmoid colon cancer 2 years ago and ischemic colitis was repeated on the anastomosis site. He initially presented with symptoms of abdominal pain 3 months before and melena 1 day before admission. Abdomen computerized tomography showed a 3.2 cm segment of luminal narrowing of the proximal colon involving upstream foreign material stasis. Sigmoidoscopic approaches revealed near complete obstruction on the anal verge of 20 cm and scope passing failed. Balloon dilatations were done on the obstruction site four times all and a foreign body impacted above the obstruction site was removed by an alligator without any complications. The foreign body removed looks like plastic or a shell, about 20 mm in size.

Traumatic intrapulmonary glass foreign bodies that are missed on an initial examination can migrate and lead to severe complications. Here, we present a rare case of a traumatic intrapulmonary glass foreign body surgically removed by a direct pulmonary incision, which preserved the pulmonary parenchyma and avoided severe complications caused by migration.

Between May 1979 and April 1989, 213 patients with esophageal injuries visited the Department of the Thoracic and cardiovascular surgery Department, Yonsei University College of Medicine. There were 159 non perforated esophageal injuries accompanied by hematemesis, and 54 perforated esophageal injuries. The causes of non perforated esophageal injuries were Mallory-Weise Syndrome [%], corrosive esophagitis [54], esophageal carcinoma [4], foreign bodies [2], sclerotherapy due to esophageal varices [3]. The causes of perforated esophageal injuries were esophageal anastomosis[13], malignancies[17], esophagoscopy or bougienage[5], chest trauma[5], foreign bodies[5], paraesophageal surgery[3], others[6] In esophageal perforation due to foreign bodies, esophagoscopy or bougienage, there were 6 cervical esophageal perforations and 9 thoracic esophageal perforations. There were no mortalities in the treatment of the cervical esophageal perforations and 5 deaths resulted in the treatment of 9 thoracic esophageal perforations. And four of six patients with thoracic esophageal perforations died in the initiation of treatment over 24 hours, after trauma. There were another 12 deaths in the patients with chest trauma, malignancies or chronic inflammation except esophageal injuries due to foreign bodies or instruments during the hospital stay or less than 30 days after esophageal injuries. One patient with esophageal carcinoma died due to bleeding and respiratory failure after irradiation. Another patient with esophago gastrostomy due to esophageal carcinoma died of sepsis due to EG site leakage. One patient with a mastectomy due to breast cancer followed by irradiation died of sepsis due to an esophagopleural fistula. Two patients with Mallory-Weiss syndrome died; of hemorrhagic shock in one and of respiratory failure due to massive transfusion in the other. One patient with TEF died of respiratory failure and another died of pneumonia and respiratory failure. One patient with esophageal perforation due to blunt chest trauma died of brain damage accompanied with chest trauma.

In Korea, cases of direct insertion of foreign bodies into the rectum are rare in the literature. Most cases of rectal insertion of foreign bodies are associated with sexual acts and psychiatric disorder such as schizophrenia. Objects inserted into the anus are usually blunt and shaped like the male genitalia. The removal method can be varied depending on the size and shape of the foreign object, its anatomical location, and the accompanying complications. In cases wherein attempts to remove the object fail or there are rectal perforation and peritonitis complications, immediate laparotomy may be required in order to prevent serious complications such as sepsis. Here, we report on a case of rectal perforation and peritonitis due to insertion of a foreign body in a middle-aged patient, with a literature review. He inserted a sharp pig backbone in his rectum and he only had depression. The patient underwent a Hartmann's operation as well as psychiatric counseling and treatment. Thus, after removal of foreign bodies, psychiatric counseling and treatment should be carried out in order to prevent similar accidents and to minimize the need for trauma medicine.

Traditional surgery to remove foreign bodies in the face carries a risk of postoperative morbidity with an injury to various anatomical structures, particularly the facial nerve and parotid duct and gland. Endoscopy can be a great aid in the removal of foreign bodies in the maxillofacial region. Surgical intervention using endoscope and/,or intraoperative images can be minimized, allowing the safe and precise removal of foreign bodies, and saving operating time. We report a case of the use of an endoscope and C-arm fluoroscopy guidance system to remove a very small foreign body.

Ingestion of foreign body in children is a relatively common problem among paediatric population. The foreign bodies mostly pass spontaneously through the gastrointestinal tract. However, complications can occur according to its anatomical location, the characteristics of the foreign body, and delays in management. Although the cases of ingested button batteries or sharp objects impacted at the gastrointestinal tract can be very serious, there have been very only a few cases have reported colonoscopic removal of these dangerous foreign bodies in adults, and there have been no case reports in children. We report one case of a button battery and one case of an open safety pin, both impacted in the terminal ileum that had moved from the stomach within a few hours of ingestion and were eventually managed by colonoscopy without any complications.
