[Mild sequelae 12 years following massive aspiration of barium sulfate in the lungs].
A twelve-year-old girl, who as a baby underwent an investigation of the oesophagus and stomach with barium roentgen contrast fluid, during which there was massive aspiration of barium contrast into the right lung, at follow-up showed no abnormalities, apart from slight signs of peribronchial granulomatosis or fibrosis. If there is an enhanced risk of aspiration or an oesophago-tracheal fistula is suspected it is better to use an isotonic water-soluble contrast fluid.
