“…The local anaesthetic techniques which were considered in this case included local anaesthetic infiltration in conjunction with intercostal nerve block, thoracic paravertebral block and thoracic epidural anaesthesia. The first option, which has been employed in the drainage of empyema in debilitated patients 4 , was considered less than optimal in terms of efficacy and duration of analgesia. Endpoints indicating the correct location of local anaesthetic in the thoracic paravertebral space are probably less reliable than the loss of resistance technique in the thoracic epidural space 5 .…”

We present a patient with a large pulmonary hydatid cyst compressing underlying lung, with previous pulmonary tuberculosis, who presented in respiratory failure. After institution of thoracic epidural anaesthesia employing 0.25% bupivacaine, 1% lignocaine and fentanyl, the patient was placed in the sitting position and the hydatid cyst excised and drained after a limited rib resection. An air leak persisted until the 16th postoperative day. A marked improvement in symptoms as well as in spirometry and arterial blood gases occurred, and the patient was discharged on the 20th day. Thoracic epidural anaesthesia may be a safer method than general anaesthesia for removal of a hydatid cyst in a patient with severe respiratory compromise.

Aspiration of foreign body among adult usually occur in geriatric populations and those with impaired airway reflexes from a neurologic abnormality, altered mental status resulting from sedative or alcohol use, or trauma with decreased levels of consciousness. Symptoms are usually acute requiring prompt intervention. Longstanding neglected foreign body aspiration can cause irreversible damage to the lung parenchyma and respiratory tract with residual respiratory sequalae. Here we present a rare case of a healthy lady who experience chronic productive cough and recurrent chest infections due to neglected foreign body aspiration leading to irreversible cystic bronchiectasis of the lung.
