Abstract

Aspiration of foreign bodies is more common in pediatric patients than in adults. Sometimes patients with inhaled foreign bodies remain asymptomatic for a long period and the exact moment of aspiration cannot be elicited. Herein, we presented a 36-year-old male patient who aspirated syringe needles when he was a child. Three needles were incidentally detected on a routine X-ray film, two were located in the lung and one was in the thoracic wall. The patient had been asymptomatic for approximately 33 years. To our knowledge, this is the first case of aspirated syringe needles that remained asymptomatic for such a long time.

Özet

Yabancı cisim aspirasyonu çocuklarda yetişkinlere göre daha sık görülür. Bazen hasta yabancı cismi inhale ettikten sonra uzun süre asemptomatik kalabilir ve tam olarak ne zaman aspire edildiği bilinmeyebilir. Bu yazıda, çocukluğunda şırınga iğneleri aspire eden 36 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunuldu. İğneler, rutin göğüs filmi değerlendirmesinde ikisi akciğer dokusunda, üçüncüsü ise göğüs duvarında tesadüfen bulundu. Hastanın, aspirasyondan sonra yaklaşık 33 yıl asemptomatik kaldığı öğrenildi. Literatürde, aspire edilen yabancı cismin bu kadar uzun bir süre kaldığı başka bir olguya rastlanmadı.
