ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and complications of esophageal foreign bodies of button battery ingestion in children. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study included 83 children who were hospitalized in our hospital on account of button battery ingestion from January 2011 to December 2021. There were 50 males (60.2%) and 33 females (39.8%). The age ranged from 7.6 months to one month off 10 years, with a median age of 18 months. The data of patient demographics and time from ingestion to admission, location, symptoms, management, complications, and follow-up outcome were recorded. SPSS17.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results: Seventy-two children (86.7%) were younger than 3 years old. The time from ingestion to admission ranged from 1 h to 2 months, with a median time of 8 h. Among the 63 children who were first diagnosed in our hospital, the most common clinical symptoms were nausea and vomiting (32 cases, 50.8%), dysphagia (31 cases, 49.2%), salivation (11 cases, 17.5%) and fever (10 cases, 15.9%). Seventy-three of 83 cases had complete preoperative diagnostic tests, and 55 cases (75.3%) were diagnosed by X-ray. In 56 cases (76.7%), the foreign badies were impacted in the upper third of esophagus. In 72 cases (86.7%), the foreign badies were removed by rigid esophagoscopy. 23 (27.7%) had serious complications, including tracheoesophageal fistula in 15 cases(TEF;65.2%), vocal cord paralysis (VCP;34.8%) in 8 cases, esophageal perforation in 3 cases (EP;13.0%), hemorrhage in 3 cases(13.0%), mediastinitis in 3 cases (13%), and periesophageal abscess in 1 case (4.3%). There were significant differences in the exposure time of foreign bodies and unwitnessed ingestion by guardians in the complications group (P<0.05). 2 cases died (2.4%)respectively due to arterial esophageal fistula bleeding and respiratory failure caused by stent displacement during the treatment of tracheoesophageal fistula. Conclusion: Accidental button battery ingestion can be life-threatening. and it mostly happens in children under 3 years old. Serious complications may happen cause of non-specific clinical manifestations and unwitnessed ingestions. Anterior and lateral chest X-ray is the first examination choice. Tracheoesophageal fistula is the most common serious complication.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Goldenhar's syndrome is a polymalformative condition consisting of a craniofacial dysostosis that determines difficult airway in up to 40% of cases. We described a case of a newborn with Goldenhar's syndrome with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula who underwent repair surgery.

CASE REPORT:

We report the case of a 24-h-old newborn with Goldenhar's syndrome. He had esophageal atresia with distal tracheoesophageal fistula. It was decided that an emergency surgery would be performed for repairing it. It was carried out under sedation, intubation with fibrobronchoscope distal to the fistula, to limit the air flow into the esophagus, and possible abdominal distension. Following complete repair of the esophageal atresia and fistula ligation, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit and intubated under sedation and analgesia.

CONCLUSIONS:

The finding of a patient with Goldenhar's syndrome and esophageal atresia assumes an exceptional situation and a challenge for anesthesiologists, since the anesthetic management depends on the patient comorbidity, the type of tracheoesophageal fistula, the usual hospital practice and the skills of the anesthesiologist in charge, with the main peculiarity being maintenance of adequate pulmonary ventilation in the presence of a communication between the airway and the esophagus. Intubation with fibrobronchoscope distal to the fistula deals with the management of a probably difficult airway and limits the passage of air to the esophagus through the fistula.

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS:

A síndrome de Goldenhar é um quadro de polimalformação que consiste em uma disostose craniofacial que determina uma via respiratória difícil em até 40% dos casos. Nós descrevemos um caso de um recém-nascido com síndrome de Goldenhar com atresia de esôfago e fístula traqueoesofágica para a qual foi feita cirurgia de reparo.

RELATO DE CASO:

Apresentamos o caso de um recém-nascido de 24 horas de vida com síndrome de Goldenhar. Ele apresentava atresia de esôfago, com fístula traqueoesofágica distal. Decidiu-se por uma cirurgia de emergência para reparo. Ela foi feita sob sedação, intubação com fibrobroncoscópio distal à fístula, para limitar passagem do ar para o esôfago e possível distensão abdominal. Após o reparo completo da atresia de esôfago e ligadura da fístula, o paciente foi transferido para a unidade de terapia intensiva e intubado com sedoanalgesia.

CONCLUSÕES:

O achado de um paciente com síndrome de Goldenhar e atresia de esôfago supõe uma situação excepcional e um desafio para os anestesiologistas, pois o manejo anestésico depende da comorbidade do paciente, do tipo de fístula traqueoesofágica, da prática hospitalar habitual e das habilidades do anestesiologista responsável, sendo que a peculiaridade principal é manter uma ventilação pulmonar adequada na presença de uma comunicação entre a via respiratória e o esôfago. A intubação com fibrobroncoscópio distal à fístula resolve o manejo da via respiratória provavelmente difícil e limita a passagem de ar para o esôfago através da fístula.

JUSTIFICACIÓN Y OBJETIVOS:

El síndrome de Goldenhar es un cuadro polimalformativo consistente en una disostosis craneofacial que condiciona una vía aérea difícil hasta en el 40% de los casos. Describimos un caso de un neonato con síndrome de Goldenhar con atresia de esófago y fístula traqueoesofágica al que se practicó cirugía de reparación de la misma.

RELATO DEL CASO:

Presentamos un caso de un neonato con síndrome de Goldenhar de 24 h de vida. Presentaba atresia esofágica con fístula traqueoesofágica distal. Se decidió una intervención quirúrgica urgente para la reparación de la misma. Se realizó bajo sedación, intubación con fibrobroncoscopio distal a la fístula, para limitar el paso de aire a esófago y la posible distensión abdominal. Tras la completa reparación de la atresia esofágica y la ligadura de la fístula, el paciente fue trasladado a la unidad de cuidados intensivos con sedoanalgesia e intubado.

CONCLUSIONES:

el hallazgo de un paciente con síndrome de Goldenhar y atresia de esófago supone una situación excepcional y un reto para los anestesiólogos, por lo que el manejo anestésico depende de la comorbilidad del paciente, del tipo de fístula traqueoesofágica, de la práctica hospitalaria habitual y de las habilidades del anestesiólogo responsable, siendo la principal particularidad el mantenimiento de una adecuada ventilación pulmonar en presencia de una comunicación entre la vía aérea y el esófago. La intubación con fibrobroncoscopio distal a la fístula solventa el manejo de la vía aérea probablemente difícil y limita el paso de aire al esófago a través de la fístula.

ABSTRACT

El sistema linfático corresponde a una amplia red de capilares y vasos distribuidos por todo el organismo, que convergen a nivel del tórax a una estructura única mayor, el conducto torácico, el cual drena su contenido a la circulación venosa a nivel de la vena subclavia izquierda. La fístula quilosa se define como la perdida de linfa desde los vasos linfáticos, típicamente acumulado en la cavidad abdominal y/o torácica, ocasionalmente manifestada como una fístula externa. (120) El tratamiento conservador de la fístula quilosa está recomendado en la mayoría de los pacientes y va a estar determinado por las fístulas con gasto elevado que causan alteraciones fisiológicas tempranas, por lo que el tratamiento debe ser agresivo. Las fístulas quilosas de origen tumoral son de difícil manejo, el tratamiento es más exitoso si estas se presentan luego de un trauma o cirugía. Para mejorar la efectividad del tratamiento conservador, se ha sugerido asociar a las medidas antes señaladas el uso de somatostatina o sus análogos. El tratamiento quirúrgico es abordado cuando la terapia conservadora falla (40%).99 Se presenta el caso de femenina de 39 años, proveniente del Estado Nueva Esparta, sin antecedente patológicos conocidos, IV gesta, III para a quien se le realizo cesárea de emergencia a las 34 semanas por feto con poli hidramnios y al abordar cavidad abdominal hay la presencia de liquido de aspecto lechoso del cual obtienen 3000cc aprox., extraen el feto el cual estaba en condición estable, revisan cavidad abdominal sin evidenciar patología. Es egresada en condición estable, y consulta a los 7 días por aumento de volumen abdominal. En vista de esto es referida a nuestro centro donde se realizan diversos estudios como laboratorio que solo reportó anemia (Hb 10), marcadores tumorales (alfa feto proteína, Ca 19-9, CEA) negativos, pruebas especiales para descartar trastorno de coagulación resultaron negativos...


The lymphatic system represents a vast network of capillaries and vessels distributed throughout the body, which converge at the thoracic cavity to a largest single structure, the thoracic duct, which drains its contents into the venous circulation to the left subclavian vein. Chylous fistula is defined as a loss of lymph from the lymphatic vessels, typically accumulated in the abdominal cavity and/or cage, occasionally manifested as an external fistula. (120) Conservative treatment of chylous fistula is recommended in most patients and shall be determined by high output fistulas causing early physiological changes, so treatment should be aggressive. Tumoral chylous fistulas are difficult to manage; treatment is more successful if these appear after trauma or surgery. To improve the effectiveness of conservative treatment, it has been suggested to associate the use of somatostatin or its analogs with the above mentioned measures. Surgical treatment is addressed when conservative therapy fails (40%). We present a case of a 39 years-old female, from the state of Nueva Esparta - Venezuela, with no known medical history, GESTA IV, III who underwent emergency cesarean section at 34 weeks due to fetus with polyhydramnios. When approaching the abdominal cavity they found a milky fluid of which they obtained 3000cc approx.; they took out the fetus which was in stable condition and examined the abdominal cavity without evidence of any pathology, whatsoever. She was discharged in stable condition, and comes back to consult at 7 days after due to increased abdominal volume. For this reason, she was referred to our center where several studies are made, such as laboratory studies which only reported anemia (Hb 10), tumor markers (alpha fetoprotein, Ca 19-9, CEA) negative, special tests to rule out clotting disorder were negative; negative immunological profile (ANCA, ANA, AMA, AML), CT Scan of the chest-abdomen and pelvis which concluded...

ABSTRACT

Incidence of post-intubation tracheal stenoses is relatively high in Iran and the majority of tracheal surgeries are performed to treat these strictures. Therefore, it is important to become familiar with the nature of tracheal stenoses and know their treatment methods. Most surgeons learn different methods of tracheal surgery through operating on cases of post-intubation tracheal stenoses and apply these methods for surgical operation of tracheal tumors. We mainly focused on the technique of tracheal surgery, patient selection, and pre-op and post-op equipments required. Other related fields such as anatomy of the trachea, bronchoscopy, imaging, laser therapy and stenting are mentioned when necessary

ABSTRACT

Las fístulas traqueoesofágicas (FTE) posintubación constituyen una lesión de pronóstico grave, con altos índices de morbilidad y mortalidad. El objetivo del trabajo fue el de evaluar las características clínicas y el resultado del tratamiento quirúrgico de pacientes con FTE posintubación. Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo en 5 pacientes. Todos tenían una sonda nasogástrica y un manguito insuflado en tráquea, 2 de ellos fueron remitidos tras fracaso de operación sobre la fístula. La albúmina sérica estaba por debajo de 35 g/L, había pérdida de peso severa y el índice de masa corporal demostró deficiencia crónica de energía (2), bajo peso (1), normopeso (1) y en uno no se obtuvo. Los síntomas fundamentales fueron salida de alimentos a través de la traqueostomía y sepsis respiratoria. La técnica quirúrgica comprendió incisión cervical transversal y resección traqueal con anastomosis y sutura esofágica. Dos pacientes presentaron complicaciones: salida transitoria de alimentos a través de la traqueostomía en una paciente, presumiblemente por incoordinación de los movimientos de la deglución secundaria a parálisis recurrencial bilateral y varios meses sin deglutir, e infección respiratoria y de la herida en otro caso. No se apreció recidiva de la fístula. Una paciente con traqueomalacia diagnosticada durante la operación, desarrolló posteriormente estenosis traqueal tratada mediante resección y colocación de tubo en T. El tratamiento quirúrgico con resección traqueal y anastomosis y sutura esofágica fue satisfactorio en pacientes con FTE posintubación, sin recidiva de la fístula ni disfagia posoperatorias(U)


Postintubation tracheoesophageal fistulae are an injury of serious prognosis, with high morbidity and mortality rates. The objective of the paper was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and the results of the surgical treatment of patients with postintubation tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). A retrospective study was conducted on 5 patients who had a nasogastric tube and a tracheal cuff; two of them had been referred to the hospital after failed fistula operation. Serum albumin was under 35g/L, there was severe loss of weight and the body mass index showed a chronic energy shortage (2), low weight (1) normal weight (1) whereas this datum was not available in another patient. The fundamental symptoms were expulsion of food through tracheostomy and respiratory sepsis. Surgical technique used was cross-cervical incision and tracheal resection with anastomosis and then esophageal suture. Two patients presented with complications: a female with temporary outlet of food through tracheostomy, probably due to lack of coordination of deglutition movements secondary to bilateral recurrent paralysis and a long time without swallowing any food and also a second case with respiratory and injury infections. No fistula relapse was observed. A patient suffering from tracheomalacia diagnosed in the course of surgery, developed tracheal stenosis which was treated with resection and a T-tube. The surgical therapy with tracheal resection and anastomosis together with esophageal suture was successful in patients with postintubation TEF, with neither postoperative fistula relapse nor dysphagia(AU)

ABSTRACT

Una de las complicaciones más graves que ocurren en las quimioterapias y radioterapias que se realizan como tratamiento del Ca de esófago es la fístula traqueoesofágica (FTE). Se presenta caso clínico de paciente de 33 años con Ca de esófago que mientras era tratado con una quimioterapia, presenta una FTE ubicada a la altura de la carina, el tumor presentó una remisión completa, no así la fístula que persistió. Se realizó reparación quirúrgica en dos etapas: en la primera, por esofagectomía vía torácica con cierre de la fístula traqueal, esofagostomía cervical, cierre de muñón gástrico y yeyunostomía; en un segundo tiempo, ascenso gástrico al cuello. controlado hasta un año y nueve meses el paciente se mantiene bien sin signos de recidiva. En las cirugías más recomendadas actualmente como tratamiento (paliativo) de la FTE por Ca, no se practica el cierre de la fístula, dejando unida ésta a un segmento cerrado de esófago, lo que es causa que el 50 por ciento de estos pacientes fallezcan posteriormente por infecciones respiratorias, complicación que se evita con la reparación aquí presentada

ABSTRACT

Twenty five patients with squamous cell carcinoma arising from the middle third of the esophagus were treated radically, with external radiation, to a dose of 55-60 Gy. All patients had lesions less than 6 cm in length with no extra-esophageal spread on computed tomography scan. Eleven of these patients received additional intracavitary radiation to a dose of 12 Gy, 1 cm from the source axis in two sessions of 6 Gy each, a week apart. There was no significant difference in the relief of dysphagia and survival among these receiving and those not receiving intracavitary radiation. Addition of intracavitary radiation to radical external radiation was associated with significant complications like stricture and fistulae formation, which accounted for the poor results.

ABSTRACT

Una niñita de 11 meses de edad ingirió la batería de un reloj de pulsera, sin que lo advirtieran los padres. Esta permaneció impactada en el esófago por más de 30 horas antes de ser extraída, produciéndose una fístula traqueosofágica con graves complicaciones pulmonares, que causaron la muerte de la paciente. Las pilas de botón constituyen un nuevo tipo de cuerpo extraño, propio de esta época, que presenta un potencial de morbilidad severa y mortalidad. La ingestión de estos adminículos es una emergencia médica por el riesgo de perforación que implican. Se sugiere un esquema de manejo en estos niños, que incluye la remoción endoscópica urgente en los casos de impactación esofágica, la revisión broncoscópica de la vía aérea y el manejo apropiado y oportuno de las complicaciones, particularmente de las perforaciones y las fístulas que eventualmente puedan ocurrir

ABSTRACT

As fístulas tráqueo-inominadas säo complicaçöes muito graves das traqueostomias, que decorrem da erosäo das paredes da traquéia e do tronco bráquio-cefálico pelas cânulas. Através de estudos realizados em 50 cadáveres de indivíduos adultos mortos há poucas horas, avaliaram-se as relaçöes anatômicas entre essas duas estruturas, tentando correlacioná-las com medidas antropométricas ligadas ao biótipo. Verificou-se que a distância entre a borda superior da cartilagem cricóide e o cruzamento traquéia-tronco bráquio cefálico (CCTB) variou entre l,8 e 6,9 cm (mediana 4,7 cm). A distância entre a borda superior do segundo anel traqueal e o cruzamento traquéia-tronco bráquio cefálico sitou-se entre 1,4 e 6,2 cm (mediana 3,2 cm). A única correlaçäo estatisticamente significativa verificada foi jugular (CCIJ), o que permitiu o cálculo da regressäo CCTB = 3,2 dividido 0,28 CCIJ. Os autores chamam a atençäo para os seguintes fatos: a) o tronco bráquio-cefálico pode estar muito próximo dos locais onde comumente se penetra na traquéia; 2) do ponto de vista de mensuraçöes aplicáveis às traqueostomias, o biótipo näo exerce influência nas relaçöes anatômicas entre a traquéia e o tronco bráquio-cefálico
