Interventional closure of a bronchopleural fistula in a 2 year old child with detachable coils.
BMC Pediatr

Department Paediatrics 2, Pulmonology, Cardiology, Intensive Care, Children's Hospital, University of Tuebingen, Hoppe-Seyler-Strasse 1, 72076, Tuebingen, Germany.
Background: Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a severe complication following pneumonia or pulmonary surgery, resulting in persistent air leakage (PAL) and pneumothorax. Surgical options include resection, coverage of the fistula by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), or pleurodesis. Interventional bronchoscopy is preferred in complex cases and involves the use of sclerosants, sealants and occlusive valve devices.

Istituto di Radiologia, Ospedale Universitario Cattinara, Trieste, Italy.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions and quantitative analysis of the volume of each component of the lung with cystic fibrosis (CF).
Materials And Methods: Twenty-two patients with CF (mean age 17+/-8 years) were included in the study. The patients underwent an unenhanced single-slice spiral computed tomography (CT) chest scan with the following parameters: collimation 3 mm, table feed 6 mm x rot(-1), reconstruction interval 1 mm, soft tissue reconstruction kernel.
Bronchiectasis consequent upon prolonged foreign body retention.
Cent Afr J Med
August 2004
Department of Surgery, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria.
Objective: To review our experience with bronchiectasis complicating prolonged endobronchial retention of foreign bodies (FB) among patients with a history of aspiration of FB seen between 1975 and 1998.
Design: A retrospective review of clinical data of consecutive patients with a history of aspiration of FB treated during the time of study.
Setting: The Cardiothoracic Unit of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, directly serves a population of about 40 to 60 million in the South Western Nigeria and the community clinics.
Congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome: spectrum of helical CT findings with emphasis on computerized reformatting.

Department of Diagnostic Imaging and the Pediatric Cardiology Unit, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel-Aviv University, Tel Hashomer 52662, Israel.
The term congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome refers to a wide spectrum of pulmonary developmental anomalies that may appear singly or in combination. The main components of congenital pulmonary venolobar syndrome are hypogenetic lung (including lobar agenesis, aplasia, or hypoplasia), partial anomalous pulmonary venous return, absence of pulmonary artery, pulmonary sequestration, systemic arterialization of lung, absence of inferior vena cava, and accessory diaphragm. The recent introduction of multisection helical computed tomography (CT), combined with use of advanced postprocessing graphic workstations, allows improved noninvasive delineation of complex congenital anomalies.

Helical computed tomography (CT) has an important role in the evaluation of a wide range of congenital and acquired thoracic abnormalities. The development of advanced computerized reformations enables the generation of bronchographic and bronchoscopic images of the tracheobronchial tree, as well as angiographic images of pulmonary arteries and veins. Additionally, it provides coronal and sagittal reconstruction imaging of parenchymal abnormalities.
