Background. Foreign body (FB) aspiration is one of the leading causes of childhood morbidity and mortality among infants and toddler age groups. X-rays are included in the diagnostic algorithm and provide important data for therapeutic solutions in foreign body aspirations in the airways. Objective of the study. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the radiological details, types, and localization in patients with foreign body aspiration. Material and Methods. We conducted a retrospective analysis of hospital case records of children who were admitted to the Pneumology Clinic between 2011-2020, with foreign body aspiration. The radiological examination and rigid bronchoscopy was performed on all children. Results. The study included 158 patients. The diagnosis was confirmed by bronchoscopy in 156 children, and 2 children expelled the FB during a coughing fit before the procedure. Indirect radiological signs suggestive of the presence of a foreign body in the respiratory tract were found in 55.8% (95% CI 47.6-63.7), including atelectasis - 25%, localized emphysema - 48.1%, mediastinal deviation - 30%. In most cases, there were pulmonary complications such as pneumonia (76.9%). At the same time, in 8.3% of cases the radiography was normal. Organic foreign bodies predominated - 96.8%, and the location was mainly in the right main bronchus. Conclusion. Although indirect signs such as atelectasis, localized emphysema, and mediastinal deviation are suggestive of foreign body aspiration, a normal x-ray does not exclude diagnosis. |
