Foreign body aspiration

Foreign body aspiration 的影像任務,不是只回答「有沒有吸到東西」,而是要快速分流:**是不是 airway emergency、阻塞在 larynx / trachea 還是 bronchus、是 complete obstruction 還是 c

核心任務
快速分流 foreign body aspiration:定位 airway level、判斷 obstruction type(complete vs check-valve partial)、偵測 secondary lung injury,並決定是否需要 urgent bronchoscopy 或 low-dose CT
判讀心法
看 airway level(larynx/trachea/bronchus)→ 判斷 radiopaque 或 radiolucent FB → 找 unilateral air-trapping 或 lobar collapse → 評估 secondary complication → 決定 bronchoscopy 或 low-dose CT 順序
三大易踩雷
正常 radiograph 誤以為排除 radiolucent FB
單側透亮肺直接診斷 FBA,忽略 rotation / Swyer-James
固定同側 recurrent pneumonia 只開抗生素,漏掉 obstructing lesion
依賴 decubitus view 陰性結果當排除依據

00Overview

Foreign body aspiration 的影像任務,不是只回答「有沒有吸到東西」,而是要快速分流:是不是 airway emergency、阻塞在 larynx / trachea 還是 bronchus、是 complete obstruction 還是 check-valve partial obstruction、已經造成哪些 secondary lung injury、病人應該直接 bronchoscopy 還是先補 CT

這題最常翻車,不是在典型 choking event,而是在 radiolucent foreign body、病史不清、或被當成 asthma / bronchiolitis / recurrent pneumonia。兒童高峰在 6 個月到 3 歲;成人則常落在 高齡、neurologic impairment、dentition problem、alcohol/sedation、吞嚥功能異常。真正臨床價值在於建立一個固定流程:看 airway level → 看 unilateral air-trapping 或 collapse → 看 direct endobronchial clue → 看 delayed complication → 決定 bronchoscopy / CT 的順序

01Critical concepts

01正常 anatomy / 常用 modality

Key anatomy to anchor

Core modalities

Modality mindset

02常見 pattern 分類

Central airway radiopaque foreign-body pattern

Unilateral hyperinflation / air-trapping pattern

Lobar collapse / obstructive atelectatic pattern

Nonresolving focal infection pattern

Near-complete laryngotracheal obstruction pattern

03Top common diagnoses

04Cannot-miss diagnosis / emergency

Laryngeal or tracheal foreign body with impending airway compromise。
Complete main bronchus obstruction with rapid respiratory deterioration。
Radiolucent FB in a child with classic choking history despite negative radiograph。
Delayed adult FBA masquerading as recurrent focal pneumonia or hemoptysis。
FB with secondary pneumothorax / pneumomediastinum / severe postobstructive infection

05高頻 mimics 與 discriminators

Foreign body aspiration vs mucus plug

Foreign body aspiration vs asthma / bronchiolitis

Foreign body aspiration vs endobronchial tumor

Foreign body aspiration vs Swyer-James / unilateral hyperlucent lung

Foreign body aspiration vs recurrent aspiration pneumonia

06Next step / protocol / appropriateness

Reporting anchors 4 條
  • Probable endobronchial foreign body at the right main bronchus with downstream unilateral air-trapping.
  • Findings favor partial check-valve obstruction rather than simple reactive airway disease.
  • Persistent focal collapse/consolidation raises concern for occult obstructing foreign body; bronchoscopy correlation is advised.
  • No radiopaque foreign body identified on radiograph; however, radiolucent foreign body cannot be excluded.

07Pitfalls / normal variants

One-page recall prompts

闔上分頁先回答這幾題 — 答不出來代表還沒讀懂。

  1. 懷疑 FBA 時,哪幾種影像表現代表 partial obstruction,哪幾種比較像 complete obstruction
  2. 兒童 radiograph 陰性但 choking history 很強時,下一步為什麼不能只靠 decubitus view?
  3. 成人哪種臨床 / 影像組合最該讓你想到 delayed radiolucent FB?
  4. 報告裡除了「疑似異物」之外,還要補哪 4 個會改變處置的重點?
