Olfaction and Gustation in Children With Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia.

Objective: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder whereby abnormal cilia cause a wide array of respiratory tract manifestations including chronic rhinosinusitis. The purpose of this study was to determine whether olfaction and gustation are impaired in children with PCD.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Tracheal inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor presenting as an obstructive pediatric foreign body.

We describe an unusual presentation of a suspected pediatric foreign body (FB) aspiration which was found to be an occlusive inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) of the distal trachea. These are rarely reported entities, with the potential for significant airway bleeds. Multidisciplinary discussion and involvement allowed for a safe patient outcome.
