Tracheo-oesophageal fistula: a delayed complication of missed inhaled magnetic toys
نویسندگان
چکیده
Delayed diagnosis of tracheobronchial foreign body (FB) aspiration is not uncommon in children. It occurs when symptoms are underappreciated and/or radiological findings are overlooked. In such cases serious complications can arise, which make the diagnosis and removal of the FB much more difficult. Here, we present a case where FB aspiration was misdiagnosed as asthma after a radio-opaque FB on the chest radiograph was missed, leading to formation of a tracheo-oesophageal fistula as a rare delayed complication.

متن کاملThe management of congenital oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula.
Interest in the surgical treatment of congenital atresia of the oesophagus was aroused in this country by the publication of Franklin's paper (1947) in which he reported two infants with oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula successfully operated on by the extra-pleural approach. The fistula was closed and primary oesophageal anastomosis was performed. Franklin estimated the occur...
