Two hundred and seventy five cases were evaluated bronchoscopically for various respiratory conditions. In 140 cases, a foreign body and in 30 cases mucus plug was removed. In 47 cases there was inflammation of the tracheobronchial tree. Forty patients with empyema thoracis were evaluated bronchoscopically because of persistence of bronchopleural fistula or continued pus discharge from intercostal tubes not responding to the routine treatment. The purpose of the article is to stress the therapeutic as well as diagnostic aspect of bronchoscopy for various respiratory conditions in pediatric age group.

Twenty seven cases of spontaneous gastro-intestinal perforation were treated from 1981 to 1990. Four perforations were in the stomach, 17 in the small bowel and seven in the large bowel. One of them had dual perforation, one in the stomach and another in the duodenum. The exact etiology remained obscure. Various factors observed were maternal obstetric complications, prematurity and perinatal asphyxia. Stress should be laid on early diagnosis by following up 'at risk neonates' thus, giving a better overall survival rate.
