Abstract:
Clinical findings of foreign body aspiration, generally, are subtle. Scrutinous clinical suspicion is always recommended. Here, we present a rare case of an adult male, who under the influence of alcohol had aspirated a row of his artificial denture without his conscience of where his denture got missing and presented to our outpatient department with non-specific symptoms. With clinical examination and advanced diagnostics, he was successfully managed with rigid bronchoscopy. With the advancement in diagnostic techniques and our widened knowledge of the condition, utmost early detection has been possible and our case report reinforces the need for a low threshold for foreign body aspiration suspicion, especially in adults with dentures, and the use of rigid bronchoscopy as a plausible tool for the prompt management of the aspiration.

摘要:
异物吸入的临床发现,一般来说,是微妙的。始终建议临床怀疑。这里,我们介绍了一个罕见的成年男性病例,在酒精的影响下,他吸了一排人造义齿,却没有意识到他的义齿丢失的地方,并以非特异性症状出现在我们的门诊部。通过临床检查和高级诊断,他通过硬支气管镜成功治疗。随着诊断技术的进步和我们对病情的了解的扩大,最早期发现是可能的,我们的病例报告强调了对异物吸入怀疑的低门槛的需要,尤其是成年人的假牙,以及使用刚性支气管镜作为及时处理误吸的合理工具。
