title: [The clinical, radiological and therapeutic aspects of endotracheobronchial foreign bodies in children].
abstract: During about 30 years of activity in the Bronchology room of the Phthisiopediatrics Unit-Braşov, 87 children having inhaled a foreign body (FB) in their airways were assisted. A number of 85 of them were solved through endoscopic interventions, performed by simple or complex (with ORL and intensive care) teams. The 85 FB were mostly (55) of vegetable nature (grains of beam and maize, seeds of pumpkin and sun flower), fragments of bone (10), of metal (10), and of plastic (8). FB localisation was: tracheal (30), in the right side bronchi (31), and left ones (26). Infancy was quite often interested: 60 children under 3 years of age and 9 aged less than 1 year. Clinical-radiological manifestation of FB were grouped in: without clearcut syndrome, well tolerated; with a clinical picture of acute pneumonia; with syndrome of complete or incomplete ("with valve") obstruction. Early diagnosis and prompt endoscopy solving prevent immediate or late complications.
