Objective ToinvestigatethevalueofMSCTandpost-processingtechniquesforthepresentationoffishboneinesophagus, andtoexploretherelatedfactorsofcomplicationsafterfishboneincarceration.Methods TheclinicaldataandMSCTdataof81cases ofesophagealfishforeignbodiestreatedbyendoscopyorsurgerywereanalyzed,including46 malesand35females;moreoverttest andχ2testwereusedforintergrouptesting.Results (1)Therewerenosignificantdifferencesinthemaleandfemalepatients’age, distributionoffishboneincarceration,theperiodofbetweenmedicaltreatmentandfishbonepuncturingintotheesophagus,thelength ofthepuncturedfishbone,theincarcerationmethod,andtheperforationcomplications(P>0.05).Thedistancebetweenthefishbone andtheincisorinthemalepatientswasfarlongerthanthatinthefemalepatients,andthedifferencewasstatisticallysignificant(P=0.011).Therewere54cases(66.7%)inthehorizontalincarcerationand27cases(33.3%)inthelongitudinalincarceration.(2)9patients (11.1%)hadesophagealperforation.Theoccurrenceofesophagealperforationcomplicationwasnotrelatedtotheageofthepatient, thedistancefromthetopofthefishbonetotheincisor,andthelengthofthefishbone(P>0.05);theincarcerationtimewaspositively correlatedtotheperforationcomplications(r=0.258,P=0.02).Horizontalincarcerationoffishbonewasmoreeasilyperforatedthan longitudinalincarceration (P=0.000).(3)Alltheforeignbodiesoffishbonesshowedbone-likehighdensityonCT.Theforeign bodiesoffishbonesweremostlyembeddedintheupperesophagus.Thedistancebetweenthetopofthefishboneandtheincisorwas about(19.38±4.08)cm.Allcaseshadswellingandthickeningoftheesophagealwall.Conclusion Thefishbonehorizontalincarceration, andlongertimestayintheesophagusaremorelikelyhappentoperforationcomplications.MSCTandpost-processingtechniquesprovidea basisforthequalitativediagnosisoffishbones,displayingthelocation,incarceration,andperforationcomplicationsofthefishbones intheesophagus.
