Abstract
|
|
|
Computed tomography with virtual bronchoscopy shows inner shape of trachea and major bronchi with three-dimensional images. Virtual bronchoscopy can be used in cases of suspected foreign body aspiration. Virtual bronchoscopy shows the exact location of the obstructive lesion before conventional bronchoscopy. If the chest radiography is normal or suggests aspirated foreign body, virtual bronchoscopy can be considered before conventional bronchoscopy. We experienced a case of false-tooth foreign body extracted under bronchoscopy. In this case, virtual bronchoscopy was made retrospectively giving useful information about shape and orientation regarding foreign body.
