Hindfoot Endoscopy

Residual foreign bodies are usually observed inside the body after foreign body penetration injuries. However, foreign bodies inside or near the joints are rarely encountered. In the case study included in this report, the case of a foreign body in the posterior ankle region of a 10-year-old child is presented, along with a new study highlighting the technique of its excision with hindfoot endoscopy. The visualization and capture of a foreign body within this region, and its relation to endoscopic excision, has been reported as being a support for hindfoot endoscopy. The aim of this article is to highlight the need for the provision of a low threshold arthroscopic hindfoot surgery in children who display the appropriate symptoms. The purpose of this surgery is to efficiently remove intra-articular hindfoot loose bodies and to gain functionally improved results, when compared with open techniques.

Different Parts

Aspiration of foreign bodies into the windpipe usually results in respiratory damage. This lesion may be of varying intensity and may be localized in different parts of the respiratory tract or lungs. Both the intensity and the localization of the lesion may depend on a number of reasons and above all on the location of the foreign body and its type, but also on the constitutional characteristics of the body and on many other causes. Aspirated foreign bodies are found in the trachea or larynx and almost as often in the bronchi.

Normal Feature

Adults of the blood fluke Pearsonellum corventum in the heart of Plectropomus leopardus from the Great Barrier Reef evoked a detectable response, but the continual production of their eggs induced a more significant response, including an abundance of melanomacrophage centres (MMCS) and granuloma formation in the ventricle as well as in other visceral organs. MMCs have not been recognised previously as a component of the ventricular spongiosis layer in fishes, but they were a normal feature of the infected and perhaps all P. leopardus as well as certain other serranids. Moreover, at least P. leopardus and certain nonserranid fishes from the Gulf of Mexico contain an abundance of free macrophages among ventricular myocardial and endocardia1 tissues. Because of those MMCS and free macrophages in P. leopardus, as well as an apparently independent extensive response involving pigmented fibrotic encapsulation of foreign bodies in the body cavity in that and other serranids from the Gulf of Mexico and Red Sea, P. leopardus and probably several other serranids should provide especially valuable models to assess macrophages and nonspecific pigmented foreign body responses. Sections in the heart of two serranids from other geographic regions exhibited what appeared to be different sanguinicolid eggs, and those fishes responded differently to P. leopardus.

The goal of this study was to describe the ultrasonographic and computed tomographic appearance of a penile foreign body in a dog for the first time. We describe an unusual penile localisation of a grass seed awn in an 11-year-old mixed-breed dog referred for a computed tomography study after a severe haemorrhage from the penis. A fistulous tract was observed after plain and post-contrast whole-body computed tomography acquisition; the foreign body was localised with ultrasound and removed under ultrasonographic guidance, with the complete healing of the penile lesion. Grass awns are common foreign bodies in dogs and cats and are commonly localised in the ear canal, subcutaneous tissue, interdigital space, eyelid, conjunctiva and nasal or oral cavity. These foreign bodies pose a threat due to their peculiar structure, which facilitates their easy access to the affected area and their transit through the body. Clinical signs are often non-specific, and imaging modalities such as ultrasonography and computed tomography are useful techniques for localisation. Our report demonstrates that the combination of computed tomography and ultrasound techniques was crucial for the exact localisation and mini-invasive retrieval of the grass seed.

Introduction. Unintentional foreign body ingestion commonly occurs accidentally in children aged between 3 months and 6 years and at advanced ages or results from psychiatric disorders such as hallucination in patients with mental retardation. Most of the ingested foreign bodies are naturally discharged from the body but some of them may require surgical intervention.Presentation of Case. A 29-year-old mentally retarded female patient was admitted to the emergency service with a two-day history of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Physical examination revealed abdominal tenderness, defense, and rebound on palpation. Radiological examination revealed diffuse air-fluid levels and a radiopaque impression of a metal object in the right upper quadrant. The metal teaspoon causing ileal perforation was extracted by emergency laparotomy. On postoperative day 7, the patient was uneventfully discharged following a psychiatric consultation.Discussion. Foreign body ingestion can occur intentionally in children at developing ages and old-age patients, or adults and prisoners, whereas it may occur unintentionally in patients with mental retardation due to hallucination. However, repeated foreign body ingestion is very rare in individuals other than mentally retarded patients.Conclusion. Mentally retarded patients should be kept under close surveillance by surgeons and psychiatrists due to their tendency to ingest foreign bodies.

Medical Attention

The majority of foreign body ingestions occur in children between the ages of six months and three years. Most cases are brought to medical attention by a child's caregivers following a witnessed or reported ingestion. Many of the children are asymptomatic or have transient symptoms at the time of the ingestion. Clinical management focuses on identifying and treating the cases at risk for complications, which depend on the location and type of foreign body. A battery lodged in the esophagus should be removed urgently. There was not recommended to take anything orally when swallowing a battery according to these guidelines until the body has been radiographically determined and removed endoscopically. Recent studies using natural and artificial models of batteries in the esophagus of animals have shown that early and repeated administration of honey or sucralfate before removal may reduce the degree of esophageal burns.

Rhinoliths are petrified masses formed by accumulation of endogenous or exogenous salts around a nidus. Although rarely formed by the body, the most common cause is foreign bodies forgotten in the nose at childhood. Rhinoliths are rare and have been reported as a single case report in the literature. In this study, 24 different and different cases will be analyzed. Twenty-four interesting patients who were operated for rhinolith in the otorhinolaryngology clinic between 2014 and 2019 and were not seen in the literature before were analyzed retrospectively. The characteristics of these patients such as age, sex, additional pathology, foreign body coexistence, type of anesthesia used, and previous surgical status were analyzed. Fourteen patients were male and 10 were female (58.3% male, 41.7% female). The mean age was 30.4 (minimum 2, maximum 62). Twelve of the foreign bodies were on the right and 12 on the left (50%). Foreign body localization was 13 (54.1%) between the inferior turbinate (IT) and septum and 11 (45.9%) between the middle turbinate and septum. Tissue destruction was seen in 12 (50%; 7 septum, 5 IT) patients. Fifteen patients had additional pathology (mostly septum deviation). General anesthesia was used in 14 patients and local anesthesia was used in 10 (58.3%-41.7%) patients. Two patients (n = 2) had rhinoliths due to forgotten nasal packing after surgery and forgotten silicone nasolacrimal tube after dacryocystorhinostomy surgery. Rhinoliths should be considered with unilateral malodorous runny nose and resistant sinusitis attacks. The diagnosis is rigid endoscope and computed tomography imaging. It usually occurs as a result of forgotten foreign bodies. Rhinoliths may also form as a result of forgotten tampon after previous nose or eye surgery.

Taking into account the widespread propaganda of esophagoscopy, the author again raises the question before the medical community, whether the esophagus should be probed at all, and especially where there are esophagoscopes and esophagoscopists. Probing is a very dangerous method of intervention when a foreign body gets into the esophagus, which often results in the insertion of the body into the wall of the esophagus, its perforation with subsequent mediastinitis, pneumonia, breakthrough into the trachea, aorta, etc.

Foreign bodies are uncommon and may be ingested, inserted into a body cavity or deposited in the body by traumatic or iatrogenic injury. Foreign body ingestion is more common in children with equal incidence in males and females, and has a peak incidence in the ages between six months to three years. This is a case of a seven-year-old male child with behavioral abnormality and long history of ingestion of foreign bodies who presented with abdominal pain and discomfort with passage of hard solid stone like particles in feaces. The patient had a conventional abdominal radiograph that showed multiple radiopaque structures of varying sizes, some of which are clump-like in the peripheral abdomen; the large colon and region of the rectum.

Introduction: The swallowing of foreign bodies is a common clinical disorder. Aim: The aim of this study is to present the case of a swallowed foreign body and discuss the possible endoscopic approaches. Case study: We present a case of a 56-year-old woman who had a stuck chicken bone in a divertic sigmoid colon. In CT the presence of the bone in the sigmoid colon with edema and thickening of a wall around the foreign body was confirmed. The bone was removed in a hospital setting during colonoscopy with the use of ‘rat teeth’ forceps without complications. Results and discussion: Swallowed foreign bodies are usually excreted from the gastrointestinal tract without any complications, however, sometimes they can lead to serious clinical problems such as obstruction, perforation or bleeding. Most stapled foreign bodies in a large intestine can be removed endoscopically without complications. About 5% of patients require surgical treatment. Conclusions: The bone removal performed in the hospital setting ensured the possibility of appropriate procedure in case of complications, such as intestinal perforation or bleeding. The endoscopic bone removal prevented the development of complications requiring surgical treatment.

Chapter 29 discusses foreign bodies and trauma. An object that originates from outside the body is by definition considered a foreign body. The retained foreign body can occur in a variety of clinical settings, such as motor vehicle accident, explosion, or gunshot injury and is a common presenting complaint in the acute care setting. Although radiography is often obtained as the first line of imaging in the diagnostic workup of soft tissue foreign bodies, some object compositions, such as wood and plastic, are radiolucent. In this scenario, US is an excellent imaging modality in identifying a retained soft tissue foreign body and can also assist in its removal. Management of the superficial foreign body is typically uneventful, however, the deeply penetrating foreign body may require a more intricate surgical procedure because of proximity of adjacent vital structures.
