| Abstract;We reviewed 11 cases (males: 5, females: 6) of laryngeal foreign body that had been admitted to our hospital between August 1971 and December 2002. Their ages ranged from 11 months to 84 years. Ten cases were under 4 years of age. The foreign body was located in the subglottic region in 9 cases, and, in one case each, the glottic region and between the glottic region and the trachea. All of the foreign bodies were removed in the operating room (fish bones in 4 cases, peanuts in 3 cases, and, in one case each, an artificial tooth, a light-emitting diode, a thumbtack, and an intubation tube). Tracheotomy was performed in 4 cases because of laryngeal edema, dyspnea, or the maneuver to remove the foreign body. Severe complications appeared in 2 cases, one of these was postoperative pulmonary edema, and the other resulted in death. (author abst.) |
