OBJECTIVE: To discuss the clinical characteristics of bilateral bronchial foreign body in children, increase the curative rate and reduce the complications. METHOD: The clinical data of 35 cases with bilateral bronchial foreign body in children were retrospectively analysed, including surgery, key surgery points, and postoperative combined therapy. RESULT: The foreign bodies of all cases were removed under intravenous general and tropical anesthesia without complications. CONCLUSION The bilateral bronchial foreign body is a serious case, the timely and effective treatment can lower the mortality rate and postoperative complications. The children lack of oxygen for a long time before and in operation should be give comprehensive therapy, for example: sedation and hyperbaric oxygen.

An 11 year old girl presented with dyspnea and a rough cough, after having mistakenly swallowed a steel ball and unable to relieve the symptoms. Chest X-ray showed an image consistent with a 10 mm diameter circular object, embedded in the right mainstem bronchi near the fifth thoracic level and the medicastinal moving to the right. A clinical diagnosis based on these findings: foreign body of the right bronchial.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the surgical treatment of parapharyngeal space foreign body and to discuss feasibility of Endoscopic transoral approach. METHOD: Reviewing surgical treatment in eight cases of parapharyngeal space foreign body, nature and location of foreign body. surgical methods, and treatment results were analyzed. RESULT: Eight patients' foreign bodies were all removed by surgical treatment, there were no postoperative infection. Three cases of foreign body were removed through laterocervical approaches, one removed through submandibular approach. In four cases the foreign body were removed through Endoscopy, two of them were transoral approach and the other two were taken out after antiotomy. CONCLUSION Different approaches should be taken in the surgery treatment of parapharyngeal space foreign body according to imaging positioning.

We present a rare case report of foreign body of the nasal apex in a 22-year man who were hospitalized because of a bit of metal rebounded. There was slight bleeding at wound site with a feeling of pain and swelling. On physical examination, the apex lied in the median position with a bleeding cut about 3 millimeter in length. There was no visible stump on the cut or rupture in the nasal vestibular. Computed tomographic scan showed the abnormal high-density shadow in the nasal apex while the foreign body was located in the subcutaneous tissue of the antero-upper part of septal cartilage. The admitting diagnosis was foreign body in nasal apex. Endoscopic surgery was adopted to remove the foreign body.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment skills of children with respiratory special foreign body. METHOD: To retrospectively analyze the clinical characteristics of 49 cases of special airway foreign bodies in children during 2013. 5.1-2014. 5.1 in our hospital, and the treatment methods were summarized. RESULT: Fourty-seven cases with rigid bronchoscopy foreign body cured, 1 case turned Department of thoracic sur- gery chest to remove foreign body, 1 case of death. CONCLUSION The clinical characteristics of special airway foreign bodies in children is different from ordinary foreign body, treatment of preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative is not fully equivalent to the ordinary foreign body.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal perforation and neck abscess induced by esophageal foreign body and to make a better solution for the disease. METHOD: Twenty-four cases with esophageal perforation and neck abscess induced by esophageal foreign body treated in our department were surgery under general anesthesia. The foreign bodies were removed via esophagoscope in 14 cases, thorocomy in 3 eral neck incision in 5; and no foreign bodies were found in 2 cases. RESULT: There were 16 cases complicated by abscess. Among these complications,there were 10 cases of periesophageal abscess,4 cases of neck abscess and 1 case of mediastinal abscess. In 24 patients, 21 cases cured and one died. One case was sent to the department of endocrinology because of hyperglycaemia and two cases were sent to the department of thoracic surgery for further treatment. CONCLUSION Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to the management of esophageal perforation induced by esophageal foreign body. Thin-section CT has a high value for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis in such patients. Once deep neck abscess is diagnosed, an early abscess surgical drainage, an appropriate antibiotics and a nutrition supporting treatment are effective for the patients.

We report a case of a retained graphite anterior chamber foreign body that was masquerading as stromal keratitis. A 28-year-old male visited with complaints of visual disturbance and hyperemia in his right eye for four weeks. On initial examination, he presented with a stromal edema involving the inferior half of the cornea, epithelial microcysts, and moderate chamber inflammation. Suspecting herpetic stromal keratitis, he was treated with anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agents. One month after the initial visit, anterior chamber inflammation was improved and his visual acuity recovered to 20/20, but subtle corneal edema still remained. On tapering the medication, after three months, a foreign body was incidentally identified in the inferior chamber angle and was surgically removed resulting in complete resolution of corneal edema. The removed foreign body was a fragment of graphite and he subsequently disclosed a trauma with mechanical pencil 12 years earlier. This case showed that the presence of an anterior chamber foreign body should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of idiopathic localized corneal edema.
