Live fish in right bronchus.

H C Samant, O P Gupta, M K Agarwal

    The Journal of Otolaryngology
    |December 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A live fish was inhaled into the right bronchus, a rare occurrence. Due to its small size, the fish may not be visible on X-rays, complicating diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Case Reports
    • Pulmonology
    • Foreign Body Aspiration

    Background:

    • Foreign body aspiration is a common cause of respiratory distress, particularly in children.
    • While inorganic materials are frequently aspirated, organic foreign bodies, especially live organisms, are exceptionally rare.

    Observation:

    • A case of a live fish, measuring a few centimeters, aspirated into the right bronchus is presented.
    • The patient presented with symptoms suggestive of foreign body inhalation.

    Findings:

    • Radiographic examination, including X-ray, failed to reveal the foreign body.
    • The small size and biological nature of the fish likely contributed to its radiolucency, making it undetectable on standard imaging.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • This case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by radiolucent foreign bodies in the airway.
    • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for foreign body aspiration even with negative initial imaging, especially in the presence of suggestive symptoms.
    • Bronchoscopy remains the gold standard for diagnosing and retrieving endobronchial foreign bodies.
