Abstract

Introduction. Foreign body aspiration into tracheobronchial tree represents an urgent condition at high level of risk. Etiology is different, and this condition is typical for all ages with highest incidence in pediatric population. Case report. A successful foreign body removal (partial denture) in a 34-year old man was presented. Radiography and computerized tomography of the chest showed a foreign body localized at the level of the right bronchus including the right middle lobe bronchus. By the use of rigid bronchoscopy, a foreign body was visualized and mobilized from the segmental bronchus in the first act, and then completely extracted. Conclusion. Efficient diagnostics and extraction are imperative for the aspirated foreign body preventing life-threatening complications.Uvod. Aspiracija stranog tela u traheobronhijalno stablo predstavlja urgentno stanje visokog rizika. Etiologija je razlicita, a pojava je karakteristicna za sve uzraste sa najvecom incidencijom u pedijatrijskoj populaciji. Prikaz bolesnika. Prikazali smo uspesno uklanjanje aspiriranog stranog tela (parcijalne proteze) kod muskarca, u zivotnom dobu od 34 godine. Radiografija i kompjuterizovana tomografija (KT) ukazivali su na strano telo lokalizovano u nivou desnog bronha sa penetracijom u bronh za srednji rezanj. Primenom rigidne bronhoskopije strano telo je vizualizovano, u prvom aktu mobilisano iz segmentnog bronha, a zatim potpuno ekstrahovano pri ekspirijumu. Zakljucak. Efikasna dijagnostika i uklanjanje su imperativ u lecenju aspiriranog stranog tela, cime se sprecava nastajanje komplikacija opasnih po zivot.
