Background Transorbital intracranial penetrating injury is rare. Damage caused by a huge metallic foreign body is very critical and life-threatening. Method We report an extremely rare case of transorbital intracranial penetrating metal strip (a car windshield wiper), which has not previously been reported in the literature. Results Emergency craniotomy was performed; the object was removed successfully, and the patient's life was saved. Conclusion With the life-threatening penetrating brain injury caused by a huge foreign body, prompt surgical treatment and comprehensive postoperative treatment are important to save patients' lives.

We present a case of negative pressure pulmonary oedema due to an overlooked cause. A 45-year-old female patient presented to the emergency department unconscious with severe pulmonary oedema. Subsequent investigations revealed a thyroid goitre causing significant tracheal compression. This case report highlights an extremely rare but potentially dangerous sequela of upper airway obstruction.

<p class="abstract">Foreign body aspiration is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate attention and intervention. Foreign body aspiration in adults usually occurs during dental procedure or motor vehicle trauma. Classical symptoms include choking, cough, haemoptysis, hoarseness or stridor. This case report presents an incident of a foreign body lodged at the subglottic region in an adult wearing dental prosthesis; the main complaint was hoarseness post motor vehicle accident. High index of suspicion coupled with correct investigation will facilitate the diagnosis of a foreign body in the airway thus immediate intervention can be taken to prevent morbidity and mortality.</p>

<p class="abstract">Tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration is a life threatening emergency that requires prompt removal, but sometimes it may remain undetected because of atypical history, or misleading clinical and radiological findings. We present a case report of a 32 years old female who presented with progressive dyspnoea, misdiagnosed as asthma, not responding to bronchodilators and finally diagnosed as foreign body in trachea. The inclusion of foreign body aspiration in the differential for such patients allows for early recognition and appropriate management.</p>

Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome (CHAOS) is an extremely rare life-threatening condition. Laryngeal atresia appears to be the most frequent cause. Generally the diagnosis is made with severely enlarged and highly echogenic lungs and additional ultrasound findings. The prognosis of the affected infants is often poor. Five cases are reported here that were diagnosed in a tertiary center between 2008 and 2014.

AbstractEsophageal perforation is a life-threatening condition with a high mortality rate. First described around 300 years ago, management of this fatal condition has emerged from surgical to endoscopic modalities with much less morbidity and mortality when instituted early. We present this case of 55-year-old male, with double esophageal perforation by meat bone, perforating lower esophageal wall, leading to localized hydropneumothorax on right side with mild bilateral pleural effusion managed endoscopically with Over-the-Scope-Clip. Endoscopic management of esophageal perforation has been well mentioned in literature, without any mention of such management in case of double esophageal perforation. Surgery with or without endoscopy remains the main stay of management of such cases.

Abstract Objective An esophageal foreign body rarely presents as an apparent life-threatening event. However, in children with esophageal atresia, strictures and dysmotility can lead to severe food impactions. Given the underlying anatomy of children with esophageal atresia, a unique risk of severe impaction with resultant airway obstruction is possible. This study reports a case of a child in respiratory distress presenting after a choking event where endoscopy revealed near total tracheal compression from esophageal food impaction. Method Case discussion and review of literature are undertaken. Result A 3-year-old boy with trisomy 21 and history of esophageal atresia who had previously undergone successful repair was transported by helicopter after a choking episode. He was witnessed to have cough followed by apnea, cyanosis, and unresponsiveness, for which he underwent the Heimlich maneuver and required chest compressions for a respiratory arrest. He was immediately taken to the operating room for endoscopy with planned foreign body removal. Rigid bronchoscopy noted near complete obstruction of the airway from posterior tracheal wall compression with no airway foreign body. The airway was secured and a combination of rigid and flexible esophagoscopy subsequently extracted a large bolus of chicken. He was observed in the intensive care unit with no further respiratory event after extubation. Conclusion Esophageal dysmotility and strictures are common in children with esophageal atresia who have undergone repair. Mild airway symptoms are common in children with an esophageal foreign body; however, in children with esophageal atresia a high index of suspicion of an esophageal foreign body is requisite in the setting of acute airway obstruction.
