Diffuse cylindrical bronchiectasis due to eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy in a dog. (57/132)

A miniature pinscher-cross was evaluated for chronic coughing. Computed tomography and bronchoscopy revealed severe, diffuse, cylindrical bronchiectasis secondary to eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy. Computed tomography is the gold standard for diagnosis of bronchiectasis in humans, and should be further investigated in dogs as a means of characterizing severity and pattern of disease.  (+info)

Lobar agenesis of the left upper lung--a case report. (59/132)

Lung agensis is a rare developmental anomaly. It can range from total bronchial and parechymal agensis to mild pulmonary parenchymal hypoplasia of one or both lungs. A case of lobar agenesis of the left upper lung in a 15-year-old boy is presented. The patient had mild exertional dyspnea. Pulmonary angiography revealed the absence of the left upper pulmonary artery and vein. Bronchography showed no branching of bronchus to the left upper lobe. Intravenous pyelography revealed incomplete duplication of the right urinary tract.  (+info)

Spontaneous expectoration of bronchial foreign body: a case report. (61/132)

A nine-year-old girl with mental retardation accidentally swallowed an axle of a toy car and was urgently hospitalized with the diagnosis of left bronchial foreign body. While various monitors were installed and removal of the foreign body by a ventilating rigid bronchoscope was in preparation, the patient suddenly coughed and vomited, with the foreign body found in the vomit. When examining infant cases of air way foreign body, attention tends to be focused on the diagnosis and treatment. However, patients are at risk of aggravating difficulty in breathing or suffocation as long as foreign bodies are present in the air way. It is important to monitor carefully for changes in the breathing and to prepare for unexpected events.  (+info)
