Abstract

The term croup refer to a group of conditions involving inflammation of the upper airway that leads to a cough that sounds like a bark, difficulty breathing, and a grunting noise or inspiratory stridor during breathing. The most common characteristics of these ailments are upper airway obstruction. The obstruction level determines the degree of respiratory distress and rarely causes respiratory failure as well. Except for croup the other causes of acute upper airway obstruction in children are inhalated foreign bodies, retropharyngeal abscess, bacterial tracheitis and epiglottitis. Two cases presented to the emergency department with the diagnosis of croup syndrome. A 9 month old girl had an incremental stridor which was lasting for two months. She underwent rigid bronchoscopy with removal of an undefined foreign body organized at vocal cord level. The other case, a 19 month old boy, was admitted with cardiac arrest. On observation after a choking episode he ejected a piece of peanut spontaneously.

Özet

Krup sendromu, seste kalınlaşma, havlar tarzda öksürük, inspratuar stridor gibi klinik bulgulara neden olan bir grup akut solunum yolu hastalığını tanımlamak için kullanılan terimdir. Bu hastalıkların ortak özelliği üst solunum yollarında tıkanmaya neden olmalarıdır. Tıkanmanın derecesine göre değişik ağırlıkta solunum sıkıntısı ve bazen solunum yetersizliği gelişir. Çocuklarda krup dışında akut solunum yolu tıkanıklığına sıklıkla yabancı cisim aspirasyonu, retrofarengeal abse, bakteriyal trakeit ve epiglotit neden olur. Burada krup sendromu tanısı ile acil servise getirilen iki olgu sunulmuştur. Olgulardan biri, 9 aylık kız hasta 2 aydır aralıklarla artan ancak hiç geçmeyen stridor nedeniyle getirildi. Bronkoskopi sonrası vokal kord seviyesinde organize olmuş yabancı cisim saptandı. Ondokuz aylık diğer olgu ise kardiyak arrest nedeniyle getirilip canlandırma sonrası, izlem sırasında atak tarzında öksürük, stridor ve tıkanmanın arkasından fıstık çıkarmıştır.
