ABSTRACT

Introducción: los cuerpos extraños bronquiales en pacientes adultos constituyen una entidad clínica poco frecuente. La localización más habitual para un cuerpo extraño de vías respiratorias es el bronquio principal derecho. Objetivo: reflejar lo difícil que resulta en ocasiones diagnosticar un cuerpo extraño como causa de tos y disnea en un paciente adulto. Presentación del Caso: paciente de 72 años de edad, sin clínica respiratoria previa. Relata la enferma que 5 meses antes de acudir a nuestro Centro se encontraba tomando sopa, cuando nota como si hubiese "broncoaspirado algo", inicialmente comienza con "tos seca y sensación de ahogo", que cede espontáneamente pero no desaparece. Acude a nuestro hospital y se realiza fibrobroncoscopía observándose la presencia de un cuerpo extraño (hueso de pollo) a nivel de bronquio del lóbulo superior izquierdo procediéndose a su extracción. Conclusiones: en presencia de un paciente con tos y disnea después de un cuadro de broncoaspiración se debe tener en cuenta el diagnóstico de aspiración de un cuerpo extraño y la extracción de este resulta la solución definitiva.

ABSTRACT

Perforation of Meckel's diverticulum by foreign bodies is an extremely rare cause of acute abdomen in adults. We report a case of perforated Meckel's diverticulum by a chicken bone with localized abdominal abscess in a 46-year old man. The patient had been brought to the hospital with fever, abdominal pain and abdominal distention. On computed tomography, the mass-like lesion was considered to be an abdominal abscess caused by perforated bowel due to a suspicious foreign body. Resection of a segment of ileum including the perforated diverticulum was performed; the patient had an uncomplicated postoperative course and was discharged. We report this rare case of perforation of Meckel's diverticulum by a chicken bone with a review of the literature.
