Value of multi‐slice spiral computed tomography for diagnosis of tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration in children: 5‐year retrospective study

Pediatrics International Oct 26, 2020

Shen J, et al. - A five‐year retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the value of multi‐slice spiral computed tomography for the diagnosis of tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration in children. Researchers conducted a retrospective study over 5 years from July 2008 to June 2013. They obtained information on children who were diagnosed with a tracheobronchial foreign body (TFB) by bronchoscopy and examined age, gender, location, type of foreign body, and various multi‐slice spiral computed tomography manifestations. They enrolled a sum of 382 children and 68.6% of them were aged 1 to < 2 years. The data revealed that multi‐slice spiral computed tomography is very sensitive to TFBs. It was shown that in children, timely diagnosis and treatment of TFB is important to prevent long‐term sequelae.
