“Threatening” aspect. With its reddish coloration that declares a sufficient vascularization, and its thick vessels that crown the visible hemisphere of this tumor that from the entrance of the right source bronchus, it challenges the bronchoscopist, tempting him to defer the biopsy to a safer time. A rigid bronchoscopy will make it possible to thermocoagulate … Read more
Here the communication with the esophagus is so wide that it occupies the entire diameter of the tracheal posterior wall. The condition responds to a long list of causes that include therapeutic accidents and is favored by the chronic prostration and poor nutrition of these patients. Cetrángolo Hospital
This tracheoesophageal fistula has been surrounded by an over-elevated environment that crowns the central depression with its punctiform orifice. Cetrángolo Hospital
Tracheoesophageal fistula. Its edges have been epithelialized and after its circular access a feeding tube is observed. Francisco Muñiz Hospital
Fistula occlusion. A cyanoacrylate deposit fills a large fistula in the right source bronchus. Undesirable mediate complication of a pneumonectomy. Italian Hospital
Tracheoesophageal fistula: Intense edema of the entire tracheal mucosa, with extensive areas of submucosal hemorrhage. The edema becomes irregular in the posterior wall and a U-shaped fissure occupies the center of the image. The dark coloration of its path is due to the methylene blue instilled in the esophagus for its detection. Isidoro R., Sinus … Read more
View of the carina and the birth of the main bronchi. A large depression precedes the orifice of the left source bronchus and communicates with the esophagus: Tracheobronchoesophageal fistula due to closed thorax trauma.
The dark and patchy coloration that becomes confluent in all the trachea closest to this image, is due to the presence of abundant accumulated carbon particles and combined with mucus. They were inhaled during a fire and may exist with or without airway burn. The endoscopic examination is “poorly lit”; this effect is a consequence … Read more
Burn of the upper airway: large anthracotic macules spread in groups over the mucosa of the tracheal wall, very swollen, after the accidental inhalation of smoke and hot gases.
Improper position of a Tutor. Its inner end has separated from the edge of the ostoma and occupies part of the tracheal lumen. It must be corrected by pulling it from its outer branch and then fixing it in the proper position with its retaining ring.
