Abstract
We examined a 77-year-old man who had aspirated a pickled Japanese apricot seed and a 3-year-old girl who aspirated a peanut by multi planar reconstraction and 3D-CT imaging (3D-CT bronchography, 3D-CT bronchoscopy). In both patients 3D-CT imaging gave us a better special understanding compared with axial CT imaging and made it easier to remove, the foreign bodies. We conclude that 3D-CT imaging is useful in patients with tracheal foreign body, especially because it is difficult to perform fiberoptic bronchoscopy in children.
