ABSTRACT

Introduction. La survenue d'un corps étranger (CE) est un motif fréquent de consultation en ORL. Le but de notre étude était d'analyser les données épidémiologiques, cliniques et thérapeutiques des sujets porteurs de corps étrangers à l'Hôpital National Ignace Deen (CHU de Conakry). Matériels et méthodes. Il s'agit d'une étude prospective de type descriptif, étalée de Janvier ­à décembre 2015 (un an), portant sur tous les cas de corps étrangers des conduits auditifs externes et des voies aérodigestives supérieures colligés au service d'ORL de l'Hôpital National Ignace Deen. Nos variables d'intérêt étaient les données épidémiologiques, cliniques et thérapeutiques Résultats. Durant la période d'étude, 192 cas de CE ont été colligés parmi les 2177 consultations, soit une fréquence de 8,82%. L'âge des patients variait de 2 à 60 ans avec une prédominance des enfants de moins de 10 ans (42,71%). Le sex-ratio homme/femme était de deux. Le délai moyen d'admission était de 48h avec des extrêmes de 0 à 30 jours. Les circonstances de survenue des CE étaient représentées par les jeux dans 54,17 % des cas. Le conduit auditif externe était la localisation la plus fréquente (64,58%). La nature des CE était inorganique dans 76,56 % des cas et organique dans 23,44 % des cas. Tous les CE ont été extraits par la voie d'introduction, le plus souvent au fauteuil de consultation (90,10 % des cas). L'évolution a été favorable chez tous les patients. Conclusion. Les corps étrangers ORL constituent un motif fréquent de consultation et affectent surtout les enfants de sexe masculin.ils sont habituellement inorganiques et affectent surtout le conduit auditif externe. L'évolution est en règle favorable après extraction

ABSTRACT

Background: Foreign body aspiration in the tracheobronchial tree usually presents as emergency. The diagnosis is often delayed. Aim: To determine the pattern of foreign body aspiration in the tracheobronchial tree in the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) and to highlight the factors responsible for the morbidity and the unusually high mortality associated with this accident especially in the paediatric age group. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients from the ENT Surgery department of UPTH over a ten-year period from January 1995 to December 2004. The Clinics record of attendance; augmented by ward and theatre records formed the material resource for this study. Extracted data was analysed using descriptive statistics. Results: Twenty-eight patients presented with foreign body aspirated in the tracheobronchial tree. Only 11 case notes were retrieved. There were 5 males (45.5) and 6 females (54.5) with a M: F ratio of 1:1.3. The age range was 1 to 45 years with a median age of 6 years. Children below 10 years made up the bulk (63.3). Groundnut was the commonest foreign body inhaled (45.5) while the right main bronchus was the site of lodgment in 9 patients (81.8). The outcome of treatment by the specialists showed a success rate of 63.3and mortality of 36.4. Conclusion: Foreign body in the tracheobronchial tree could be managed with better prognosis in the pediatric age group if the clinicians of first contact had a high index of suspicion and referred cases promptly

ABSTRACT

Background/objectives: Ear foreign bodies are common otorhinolaryngological emergencies which must be removed otherwise they may present with various complications. This paper reviews cases of ear foreign bodies seen over a seven year period from January 1995 to December 2001 in the Ear; Nose and Throat (ENT) department of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital Sokoto; Nigeria. Method: This is a retrospective study of all case folders of patients who presented with ear foreign bodies whose clinical features and management modalities were analyzed . Results: The total number of patients reviewed were 207.There were 126 males (60) and 81 females (40) with a male to female ratio of 1.5:1. Their ages ranged from 1 to 65 years with 61.8being children under 10 years old. Agricultural seed was the commonest documented foreign body (15). Deliberate insertion by patients accounted for 70of the cases while accidental insertion accounted for 30. Ear foreign bodies became complicated in 41 patients (19.8) at presentation one of them requiring a major surgical operation (posterior tympanotomy) to remove the foreign body. About 99.5of the foreign bodies were removed through the per meatal approach with 79.8being carried out by the nurses and doctors who had received basic training to do so. Conclusion: Ear foreign bodies may become complicated and so needs to be removed using standard methods which should be carried out by those specially trained to do so

ABSTRACT

L'etude de 36 cas de corps etrangers des voies respiratoires inferieures a permis de mettre en evidence les problemes diagnostiques. Le diagnostic n'est rapidement evoque que devant un syndrome de penetration (16;66 pour cent des cas). L'examen clinique est normal dans 38;88 pour cent des cas a la phase post-critique. Les corps etrangers etant radio-transparents dans la grande majorite des cas (52;78 pour cent); les signes radiologiques indirects ont eu une grande valeur diagnostique dans 16;66 pou cent des cas. L'endoscopie s'impose devant toute pathologie broncho-pulmonaire trainante ou repondant mal au traitement
