Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the potential use of low-dose multidetector CT (MDCT) and virtual bronchoscopy for the evaluation of children with suspected foreign body aspiration. Patients and Method: Low-dose MDCT (mA: 50-100) was performed in 15 patients (3 girls, 12 boys) with a mean age of 34.4 months (6 months-10 years) with suspicion of foreign body aspiration. MDCT findings were prospectively evaluated by two radiologists. The findings were compared with the results of rigid bronchoscopy.Results: In ten patients, foreign bodies were revealed in tracheobronchial system. The foreign body was in the right bronchial system in five patients, left bronchial system in four patients and in the distal trachea in one patient. In all patients CT images were evaluated optimal for diagnosis. In eight patients, no discordance was found between two modalities. One patient spontaneously extracted foreign body and rigid bronchoscopy was not performed. In another patient, foreign body was not revealed with MDCT and virtual bronchoscopy. In this patient, there were infiltrates at the location of the foreign body. The sensitivity and specificity of MDCT were %90 and %100, respectively.Conclusion: Low-dose multidetector CT and virtual bronchoscopy are alternative radiological methods for the diagnosis of foreign body aspiration.

Özet

Amaç: Sunulan çalışmada, yabancı cisim aspirasyonu şüphesi olan çocukların değerlendirilmesinde düşük doz çok kesitli BT ve sanal bronkoskopinin kullanılabilirliğini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Hastalar ve Yöntem: Yabancı cisim aspirasyonu şüphesi olan ve ortalama yaşları 34.4 ay (6ay-10 yıl) olan 15 hastada (3 kız, 12 erkek) düşük doz (mA: 50-100) çok kesitli BT görüntüleri elde edildi. Çok kesitli BT bulguları prospektif olarak değerlendirildi ve rijid bronkoskopi sonuçları ile karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: On hastada trakeobronşiyal sistemde yabancı cisim tespit edildi. Yabancı cisimler 5 hastada sağ sistem bronşlarında, 4 hastada sol sistem bronşlarında ve 1 hastada distal trakea düzeyinde idi. Tüm hastalarda BT görüntüleri değerlendirme için optimaldi. 8 hastada çok kesitli BT ve rijid bronkoskopi bulguları birbirleri ile uyumluydu. Bir hasta yabancı cismi spontan çıkardı ve bu olguya rijid bronkoskopi yapılmadı. Diğer bir hastada yabancı cisim çok kesitli BT ve sanal bronkoskopi ile gösterilemedi. Bu hastada yabancı cismin bulunduğu bronşun havalandırdığı akciğer parankiminde infiltrasyon vardı. Kesitsel BT görüntülerinin ve sanal bronkoskopinin yabancı cisim aspirasyonu tanısında duyarlılığı %90, özgüllüğü %100 bulundu.Sonuç: Düşük doz çok kesitli BT ve sanal bronkoskopi yabancı cisim aspirasyonu tanısında kullanılabilecek alternatif radyolojik yöntemlerdir.
