Bronchial adenoma,especially adenocystic carcinoma [cylindroma] of the tracheobronchial tree is relatlvely rare in incidence. This is the report of one case of cylindroma in a 28 year old female,surgically treated at the Deparment of Thoracic Surgery,Seoul National University Hospital. The tumor was located at the left main bronchus and completely obstructing the bronchial lumen.Left pneumonecromy was performed because of the irreversible bronchiectatic and fibrotic changes of the entire left lung.

Asthma is a disease of the airways that is characterized by increased responsiveness of the tracheobronchial tree to a multiplicity of stimuli. A number of causes have been postulated for the increased airway reactivity of asthma is conservative as beta-adrenergic agonist, methylxanthines, glucocorticoids, anticholinergics and mast cell stabilizing agent. Stellate ganglion block for the treatment of bronchial asthma has its controversies. Stellate ganglion block was performed for the treatment of 3 patients with bronchial asthma. After stellate ganglion blocks, dyspnea, coughing and wheezing was markedly reduced. Lung function test improved with 1 st case. Two asthma cases were able to discontinue medication for asthma. No severe aggrevation of bronchial symptoms were noted after stellate ganglion blocks. It suggested that stellate ganglion block can be safely performed on bronchial asthmatic patients.

The inhalation of a foreign body into the tracheobronchial tree is a child is a life-threatening accident. Forgotten foreign bodies In the airways cause chronic pulmonary infections, allergic asthma, bronchiectatic changes, and lung abscess Foreign bodies that cannot be grasped by bronchoscopic forceps should be removed by thoracotomy and bronchotomy. This report describes our experience In 16 patients who were treated to remove inhaled foreign bodies from the airways after repeated bronchoscopies had been unsuccessful from 1963 to 1981 at the department thoracic surgery of Seoul National University Hospital. The surgical procedures are as follows: 12 patients bronchotomy, 2 patient pneumonectomy, 2 patients lobectomy. In these cases, the foreign bodies are 8 metallic material, 3 plastic material, 1 bean, 1 black snail, and 3 cases of no records. Bronchotomy must be performed as soon as possible in order to avoid more advanced pathologic changes In the Involved lung, such as bronchiectasis, fibrosis or abscess.

A fistulous communication between an esophageal traction diverticulum and the tracheobronchial tree appears to be of rare occurrence. This report reviews the feature of benign esophagobronchial fistula due to esophageal traction diverticulum. This 36-year-old female patient suffered from substernal pain, interscapular pain and severe paroxysmal coughing after ingestion of fluids. This patient was taken a diverticulectomy and partial resection of superior segment of right lower lobe. After the operation, there was no subjective symptoms, esophagobronchial fistula, leakage, stricture and diverticulum. The postoperative result was excellent.

Castleman disease is a relatively rare disease, characterized by well-circumscribed benign lymph-node hyperplasia. The disease may develop anywhere in the lymphatic system, but is most commonly reported as unicentric Castleman disease in the mediastinum along the tracheobronchial tree. It is usually asymptomatic and detected on plain chest radiography as an incidental finding. We report an incidentally detected case of Castleman disease in the paravertebral space that was preoperatively diagnosed as a neurogenic tumor and treated by complete surgical resection.

Aspergillus infection is the most common cause of death due to fungi in immunocompromised hosts. Aspergillus tracheobronchitis is an uncommon but severe form of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, which is limited entirely or mainly to the tracheobronchial tree and can often be life-threatening. We report a case of a 54-year-old man who died from Aspergillus tracheobronchitis without an underlying disease. Autopsy revealed an extensive yellowish plaque adhering to the trachea and bronchial wall. The microscopic examination of the trachea and bronchus revealed septate branching hyphae of Aspergillus.

Management of maxillofacial trauma includes primary care, in which diagnosis and management of dentoalveolar injury play a vital role. Due to the impact sustained during a maxillofacial injury (whether direct or indirect), dentoalveolar injuries can occur, leading to fracture and displacement of teeth and associated alveolar bone into the surrounding soft tissues and associated structures, such as the maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, upper respiratory tract, tracheobronchial tree, or gastrointestinal tract. Undiagnosed displaced teeth may cause complications such as airway obstruction. This paper reports a case of displaced teeth in the nasal cavity and gastrointestinal tract and highlights the management protocol for displaced teeth secondary to maxillofacial trauma.

Airway foreign body aspiration in children can lead to accidental death, due to the foreign body itself or the removal procedure. Depending on its location, removal of the foreign body can be challenging. Here, we present a case of successful removal of a foreign body from the left upper lobar bronchus via ventilating bronchoscopy with a rigid bronchoscope and Fogarty arterial embolectomy catheter. Tracheobronchial foreign bodies in locations that are difficult to reach with forceps, due to an acute angle or the small diameter of the pediatric bronchial tree, can be effectively removed with a Fogarty arterial embolectomy catheter.

연구배경: 폐쇄관을 이용한 기관내 흡인은 임상적으로 중한 환자에게 생리적인 이점이 있지만, 병원성 균주에 의한 기관지 내의 집락화가 증가될 수 있다는 보고가 있다. 비용증가는 폐쇄흡인의 또 다른 제한점이다. 본 연구는 폐쇄흡 인 및 개방흡인에 따른 병원균주의 집락화와 인공환기관련폐렴의 빈도와 가격효율성을 비교해보고자 시행되었다. 방 법: 각각 한 달의 간격을 사이에 두고 내과계 중환자실에 입원한 환자들을 대상으로 다중사용 개방흡인, 단일사용 개방흡인, 다중사용 폐쇄흡인을 순차적으로 시행하였다. 비용, MRSA의 기관지내 집락화, 인공환기폐렴의 발생 률을 분석하였다. 결 과: 106명의 환자가 연구 대상으로 포함이 되었고, 이 중 20명의 환자가 다중사용 개방흡인을, 42명이 단일사용 개방흡인을, 44명이 다중사용 폐쇄흡인술을 시행받았다. MRSA의 집락화와 인공환기관련폐렴의 빈도는 세 군간에 의미있는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 입원 일당 소모되는 비용은 다중사용 개방흡인이 $10.58, 단일사용 개방흡인이 $28.27, 다중사용 폐쇄흡인의 경우 $23.76인 것으로 나타났다. 결 론: 다중사용 폐쇄흡인을 매 48시간마다 교환하는 경우 MRSA 집락화와 인공환기폐렴 발생 빈도는 비슷하였고, 기관내 흡인술에 있어서 비용면에서도 효율적인 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

기관지에서 점액상피양 종양은 드문 병변으로 대부분은 임상적으로 양성 경과를 보이는 저등급 암종이나 때로는 치명적인 고등급 암종을 보일 수 있으며 치료는 병리학적 등급에 관계없이 외과적 절제가 우선이다. 저자들은 호흡곤란을 내원하여 우폐 전체의 허탈 소견을 보인 임신 32주의 여자에서 조직학적으로 확인되어 수술한 저등급의 점액 상피양암 1예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
