AI Article Synopsis
- Cerebral embolization from an aqueous solution of propyliodone (Dionosil) happened during bronchographic studies after a fiberoptic bronchoscopic procedure in a patient with a lung lesion.
- This incident led to a grand mal seizure and temporary neurological issues, marking a previously unreported complication.
- The authors recommend avoiding selective bronchographic studies if the transbronchial biopsy involves endobronchial bleeding.
Article Abstract
Cerebral embolization of an aqueous solution of propyliodone (Dionosil) occurred during selective bronchographic studies following a fiberoptic bronchoscopic procedure with transbronchial biopsy in a patient undergoing investigation of a pulmonary lesion. The embolization resulted in a grand mal seizure and transient neurologic deficits. This potential complication has not been previously reported. We suggest that selective bronchographic studies be avoided when the transbronchial biopsy is associated with endobronchial bleeding.

Introduction: Limited information exists on next-generation sequencing (NGS) success for lung tumors of 30 mm or less. We aimed to compare NGS success rates across biopsy techniques for these tumors, assess DNA sequencing quality, and verify reliability against surgical resection results.
Methods: We used data from the Initiative for Early Lung Cancer Research on Treatment study, including patients with lung tumors measuring 30 mm or less who had surgery and NGS on biopsies since 2016.
Background: Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (PLCH) is a rare interstitial lung disease primarily affecting young to middle-aged smokers. While traditionally linked to tobacco use, there is growing evidence that cannabis use may contribute to PLCH.
Methods: We present a case of a 52-year-old male with PLCH associated with heavy cannabis use.

Background: Sarcoidosis, a granulomatous inflammatory disease, exhibits diverse clinical manifestations, often affecting multiple organs. Diagnostic challenges arise due to its similarities with tuberculosis, particularly in high-burden areas. Differentiating between the two relies on clinical judgment, laboratory tests, imaging, and invasive procedures.

Introduction: Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is commonly used for diagnosing mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Despite a low complication rate, severe hemorrhage can occur which is reported in this literature, particularly in hypervascular conditions like Castleman disease.
Methods: A 54-year-old male with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease underwent EBUS-TBNA for mediastinal lymph node sampling.

EBUS-TBNA is the most common interventional pulmonology procedure performed globally and remains the cornerstone of the diagnosis and staging not only of lung cancer but also for other neoplastic, inflammatory, and infective pathologies of the mediastinum. Infective complications of EBUS-TBNA are underreported in the literature, but the constantly rising incidence of lung cancer is leading to an increasing number of EBUS-TBNA procedures and, therefore, to a significant number of infective complications, even 4 weeks following the procedure. In this review we attempt to summarize the risk factors related to these infective complications, along with useful biomarkers that can be used to identify patients that might develop infective complications, to facilitate the prediction or even prompt treatment of these.
