Tracheal compression: a late complication of plombage.
DESCRIPTION Plombage, or extrapulmonary thoracoplasty, is the use of exogenous material to treat localised lung pathology. It was initially described by Tuffier as early as 1891. It was introduced in Britain in the late 1940s when the epidemic spread of tuberculosis combined with a lack of antituberculous drugs led to a vogue for surgical procedures to treat pulmonary tuberculosis before the ad...
متن کاملThe surgical management of late tuberculous space infections after plombage.
The introduction of unabsorbable foreign materials into the tissues is liable to be followed by late infection and their extrusion. This has been found particularly to be the case when such materials have been used to maintain surgical collapse of a tuberculous lung. The early results of extrapleural oleothorax and paraffin wax plom-bage were satisfactory and gave a high proportion of closed ca...

Complications related to previous plombage procedures are not uncommon. Management of these complications can be challenging. We report a patient presenting with extrusion of plombage 59...
متن کاملLate Complication of Tracheostomy: Larynx-Shaped Reorganization of the Tracheal Rings or the True Larynx?
Tracheostomy is a well-established, commonly used surgical procedure, whose early and late complications are widely described in literature. Some of them remain still poorly known, though. One of these rare complications is a peculiar larynx-shaped reorganization of the tracheal rings and cricoid cartilage. This tracheal narrowing seems to be nonsymptomatic and not life-threatening, at least as...
متن کاملLacrimal sac compression by an anterior ethmoidal mucocele presenting as a late complication of dacryocystorhinostomy
This was an unusual case of lacrimal sac compression by an anterior ethmoidal mucocele presenting as a late complication of a dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) that was jointly managed by ophthalmic and ENT surgeons via an endoscopic approach. A 22-year-old lady presented with a 12-month history of a painless lump in her left medial canthus area and a 6-month history of left intermittent epiphora. Sh...
