Bronchopleural fistula in a 5- years old child with novel CARMIL 2 mutation: A rare disease and a rare case.

ABSTRACT: A five year girl had eczema and allergic rhinitis in the past, presented with a history of cough, shortness of breath for the last one month. Her chest -X-ray showed a left side pleural effusion, and a computed tomographic scan (CT) of the chest showed left side hydropneumothorax. Left side 21 Fr drain was inserted. Her clinical condition deteriorated despite antimicrobial therapy, and she required mechanical ventilatory support due to respiratory distress. She also developed a right-sided pneumothorax that was managed by inserting a 21 Fr chest drain. A video-assisted thoracoscopic VATS procedure was done to staple the lung bullae and drain the empyema. Her post-operative chest X-ray showed good lung expansion. Pleural fluid culture report was positive for candida. She was commenced on antifungal microbial therapy. Two days later, she developed again left side pneumothorax, which was again managed by left intercostal drain. We were unable to wean her off from mechanical ventilatory support due to a significant air leak due to bronchopleural fistula. A posterolateral thoracotomy was performed, and the bronchopleural fistula was closed. She was extubated the next day, and intercostal drains were removed on the 4th post-operative day.

Extracellular matrix fistula plug for repair of bronchopleural fistula.

Project description:IntroductionBronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a feared complication of pulmonary resection. Fistula plugs (FP) have been described as an adequate treatment in anorectal disease. We describe our early experience placing an FP in the treatment of BPF.Materials and methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 5 patients for whom a FP was placed for BPF at our institution. Demographic data, initial perioperative information, method and technique of FP placement, and success is reported.ResultsFive patients (4 male, 1 female) with a median age of 63 years (range, 57-76 years) underwent 6 FP placements for BPF. Two patients were post-pneumonectomy and 3 patients post-lobectomy. The median time to presentation following surgery was 118 days (range 22-218). Upon bronchoscopic or operative re-evaluation, 3 patients had successful cessation of their air leak at 0, 1 and 4 days. Two of three patients subsequently underwent a thoracic muscle flap placement to augment healing. One patient had a persistent air leak despite 2 separate FP placements. The air leak stopped with endobronchial valves (EBV) which were deployed proximal to the FP, 9 days after placement of the FP. Another patient had a successful muscle flap placed 80 days after FP placement. There were no complications associated with the FP. Three of five patients were deemed successfully treated with FP placement alone.ConclusionIn patients with a postoperative BPF and pleural window, placement of a FP had a modest success rate and can be considered as a treatment modality option for BPF.

Thoracoplasty for Postpneumonectomy Empyema Associated with Bronchopleural Fistula: A Case Series.

Project description:Thoracoplasty is a historical procedure, initially devised for the treatment of refractory tuberculous empyema. Advances in medical treatments have nearly eliminated the need for this surgical procedure in pulmonary tuberculosis and it is rarely performed or taught in modern day surgical practice. However, few indications still exist, most prominently, in the treatment of postpneumonectomy refractory empyema often but not always associated with a bronchopleural fistula. In this case report, we present two cases of postpneumonectomy refractory empyema treated by thoracoplasty with long-term follow-up.

Vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous free flap repair of post-pneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundBronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a seldom encountered yet serious complication after thoracic surgery, and is often difficult to treat. Large BPFs usually require surgical intervention, and a variety of different surgical reconstruction options have been previously described. This case report presents the first description of a successful vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) free flap repair of a BPF after pneumonectomy.Case descriptionA 46-year-old male with a cough was found to have a right upper lobe lung mass with hilar involvement initially remarkable for epithelioid malignant mesothelioma on biopsy. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, he underwent right extrapleural pneumonectomy and developed a late right mainstem BPF with associated empyema from adjuvant chemotherapy and COVID-19 pneumonia. He was treated with open Clagett window (OCW) to address the infection and then staged VRAM free flap coverage of the BPF. The patient recovered successfully and has since been able to pursue more demanding activities at home.ConclusionsThis case presents the only successful VRAM free flap for a BPF involving the entire right mainstem bronchus at the carina. VRAM free flap repair offers a useful treatment option for BPFs, especially in patients with large pleural cavity defects.

Novel technique to repair a bronchopleural fistula after esophagectomy using wide intercostal muscle flap fixed by azygos vein and bronchus: a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Post-esophagectomy bronchopleural fistulas can be life-threatening in patients who are exhausted, for example, by surgical stress and pleural infection; therefore, establishment of a reliable surgical procedure is extremely important. We here report a novel procedure entailing muscle flap closure for bronchopleural fistula. CASE PRESENTATION:A 64-year-old man developed a right bronchopleural fistula after esophagectomy. Because he was exhausted by surgical stress and malnourished, we considered reliable surgical closure of the fistula essential. Intraoperatively, it was found to connect with the membranous portion of the right main bronchus. We decided to close the fistula with a pedicled fourth and fifth intercostal muscle flap. After separating the intercostal muscles near the angle of the rib, we passed a muscle flap between the azygos vein and bronchus and sutured it securely to the fistula. The postoperative course was uneventful, and there was no thoracic infection. Postoperative bronchoscopy confirmed the muscle flap had securely closed the fistula. CONCLUSIONS:The route and suturing technique of the intercostal muscle flap to a fistula are important, especially in exhausted patients.

A rare case of acquired benign tracheoesophageal fistula.

Project description:Acquired benign tracheoesophageal fistula (TOF) is a rare medical condition that usually results from trauma, foreign bodies or granulomatous infections. This is an unusual presentation of a male patient with a history of laryngectomy who has had over a period of several years inappropriately and vigorously used valve cleaning brushes to clean tracheal secretions, which has led to the formation of a TOF. Due to the patient's obsessive habit, we could not manage him using conventional surgical methods. Instead, we opted for the placement of a salivary bypass tube, which yielded good results and recovery. To the best of our knowledge, no other case of similar aetiology has been published. We would like to highlight the importance of appropriate patient selection and education prior to performing a tracheoesophageal puncture to avoid developing life-threatening complications as demonstrated in our case report.

A rare case of Allgrove Syndrome associated with growth hormone deficiency in an 8-year-Old child: A case report.

Project description:Introduction and importanceTriple A (Allgrove) syndrome is an autosomal recessive multi-organ disease, caused by a mutated gene on chromosome 12q13 in most cases, characterized by the classic triad of Alacrimia, Achalasia and Adrenal insufficiency; along with neurologic abnormalities and many other manifestations in some cases.While short stature is not a rare manifestation in the context of this syndrome, it remains without identifiable cause.Case presentationHere we described an 8-year-old female who had feeding difficulties, recurrent vomiting, hyperpigmentation and short stature. She was diagnosed with Allgrove syndrome after confirmation of adrenal insufficiency, Achalasia, and Alacrimia. Despite correcting these disorders, we did not notice an improvement in the patient's height, which promote us to further investigations, which eventually led to the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency as a cause of short stature.The treatment consisted of Hydrocortisone, artificial tears, pneumatic balloon dilation, Nifedipine and Recombinant growth Hormone with a great improvement of her condition.ConclusionThis case found an unusual association between Allgrove syndrome and growth hormone deficiency, a treatable cause of short stature, which in turn is a frequent manifestation of unknown etiology in this syndrome.
