| Abstract;We reported on three children with laryngeal foreign body: one case of glottic foreign body and two cases of subglottic foreign body. The first case was a 9-month-old boy with a piece of plastic in the glottis. The second case was a 13-month-old girl who had abruptly developed a cough and had been treated as a pseudo croup. Due to an exacerbation of stridor the next day, she was admitted to our hospital. Endoscopic examination revealed a shrimp tale invaginated in the subglottic space. The third case was a 32-month-old girl with a hard nut shell in the subglottic space. Although the foreign body was removed, stridor still remained and she was diagnosed as asthma. It is difficult to find foreign bodies at the larynx in children since their symptoms and signs are not sufficiently collected due to difficulty in communicating with them and their impatience with examination. Therefore, endoscopic examinations and cervical X-rays should be performed on children who abruptly develop stridor, hoarseness, and cough. In addition, when a stridor remains even after the removal of a foreign body, children should be completely examined to determine whether other foreign bodies exist. (author abst.) |
