Abstract
A 17-year-old boy who aspirated a pencil-cap six years ago, was referred to our hospital. At bronchoscopy, left main bronchus was almost completely obstructed by a membranous tissue at 2 cm distal to the carina. A bronchotomy to the left main broncus via left lateral thoracotomy was performed, the web was excised, and the pencil-cap was removed. One year after, the bronchus was partially reoc-clused by adhesion of the excised web which was revealed at bronchoscopic reevaluation. The adhered part was separated by a forceps at rigid bronchoscopy. The bronchus was completely patent and the patient was uneventful after one year.
Özet
Altı yıl önce kalem kapağı aspire etmiş olan 17 yaşındaki hasta hastanemize sevk edildi. Bronkoskopide sol ana bronş, ana karinanın 2 cm distaliride membranöz bir doku ile tama yakın tıkalıydı. Sol lateral torakotomi ile bronkotomi yapıldı, membran eksize edildi ve kalem kapağı çıkarıldı. Hasta taburcu edildikten bir yıl sonra, bronkoskopide bronşun eksize edilen membranm yapışmasıyla kısmi olarak tekrar tıkandığı görüldü. Yapışan kısım rijit bronkoskopide bir forseps ile ayrıldı. Bir yıllık takip sonrasında bronş tamamen açık ve hasta sorunsuzdu.
