Introduction: Foreign body ingestion is common among children and more common in boys and in children under the age of 3. It can present with a wide variety of symptoms like dysphagia and drooling or symptoms related to the upper aerodigestive tract.   Case Report: A 20-month-old male presented with refractory croup and poor feeding since 2 weeks. Bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy was performed du...

Abstract Background Foreign body in the esophagus is most commonly observed at cervical level and often detected pediatric patients. Esophagoscopy definitive diagnosis treatment instrument foreign ingestion, procedure should not be delayed to avoid serious complications such as late tracheoesophageal fistula perforation. While sore throat, difficulty swallowing, hypersalivation are main complai...

The aim of the paper is to present own experience in diagnosis and endoscopic removal of foreign bodies from the oesophagus in dogs. The study was performed on 22 dogs of different breed and sex, aged 7 months to 17 years, with suspicion of a foreign body in the oesophagus. All the dogs were subjected to a radiography of the oesophagus and oesophagoscopy. The most commonly observed clinical sig...

A female weanling northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris) presented to The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, California, USA, in poor body condition. An esophageal obstruction was diagnosed by contrast radiography and esophagoscopy, but despite extensive diagnostics and supportive care, the seal died 6 days later. On postmortem examination, the right aortic arch was persistent, formin...

Epstein-Barr virus infectious mononucleosis can cause transient immune deficiency which may predispose to reactivation of latent herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection in the immunocompetent host. We report the case of a 15-year-old male who presented with severe odynophagia and herpes labialis during the course of Epstein-Barr virus infectious mononucleosis that had been diagnosed ten days befor...

Accidental swallowing of fish bone, which arrested in esophagus, is fairly common. However the incidence of esophageal perforation due to fish bone swallowing is low. Delayed posterior mediastinal abscess as a result of the esophageal perforation is a rare manifestation and may lead to fatal outcome. Two cases of delayed formation of posterior mediastinal abscess following esophageal perforatio...

Esophageal lipomas are benign tumors representing less than 0.5% of all gastrointestinal lipomas. They are typically detected incidentally but occasionally present with local symptoms and rarely with life-threatening complications. We describe a case of a 60-year-old man with progressive dysphagia and weight loss, who presented with several episodes of near asphyxiation secondary to regurgitati...

In this paper we show how translation from QVT-R to an intermediate semantic representation can be used to support analysis of QVT-R specifications. We use the UML to RDB case study to illustrate the approach.
