“…7,8,10,13 Oesophageal foreign bodies presenting solely as acute dyspnoea have been reported in people. 15 Both cases presented had radiographic features of a generalised megaoesophagus. Widening of the cranial mediastinum and ventral deviation of the trachea were also noted in both cases radiographically.…”

Case series summaryThis case series describes two cats diagnosed with oesophageal obstruction due to trichobezoars. Both cases presented for acute dyspnoea, with thoracic radiographs revealing changes consistent with oesophageal foreign material causing ventral displacement of the trachea. Endoscopic removal was unsuccessful and both cases required surgical intervention. Case 1 died within 24 h of trichobezoar removal, likely from aspiration pneumonia. Case 2 developed laryngeal collapse 10 days after trichobezoar removal and required a permanent tracheostomy. Case 2 has been followed up for >1 year without any further complications.Relevance and novel informationThere is minimal published information on oesophageal trichobezoars in cats. These cases provide information on presentation, radiographic findings and complications associated with oesophageal trichobezoars. The intention of this case series is to increase the index of suspicion for this syndrome among clinicians treating feline patients.

“…Literature review showed that trichobezoars were seen in some rare cases, including (a) a 5-year-old female with trichotillomania and trichophagia with increased airway resistance as a primary component of laryngeal collapse [6], (b) a 51-yearold female with unusual dyspnea and T-tube obstruction [7], and (c) some cases in cats with an acute onset of dyspnea without or with prior clinical signs of esophageal disease and esophageal trichobezoars [8]. Esophageal foreign bodies with pure acute dyspnea have been also reported in the literature [9].…”

Background Trichotillomania and trichophagia cause trichobezoars, which are masses made of hair. The main presentation of this condition is abdominal pain. However, other complications include gastric outlet obstruction, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, malnutrition, hematemesis, diarrhea, and constipation. Case presentation A 57-year-old woman with trichotillomania was admitted to the Emergency Department with the chief complaints of dyspnea on exertion, shortness of breath, dysphagia, generalized weakness, and hoarseness. Spiral chest computed tomography (CT) scan did not reveal any parenchymal lesions Pulmonary CT angiography did not reveal pulmonary embolism. The patient was admitted to the Surgery Department for hand fasciotomy due to contrast leakage, and during laryngoscopy, a trichobezoar was detected that was removed with Magill forceps. Conclusions Rare cases of trichobezoars can be observed in humans with gastrointestinal and respiratory symptoms. Precise and timely diagnosis are key for the prevention of more invasive diagnostic procedures.

“…10 Un CE crónico en el esófago puede causar retraso del crecimiento y neumonías recurrentes. 12 La presentación inusual de un CE esofágico con síntomas respiratorios en lugar de dificultad en la deglución puede explicar el hecho de que permanezca en el esófago durante períodos prolongados. La ingestión de un CE radiolúcido y la ausencia de testigos incrementan, también, el riesgo de CE crónico.…”

Los pediatras deben considerar esta posibilidad como parte del diagnóstico diferencial cuando otra etiología no es aparente, principalmente, en niños menores de 3 años.…”

Arch Argent Pediatr 2017;115(2):e126-e130 / e126Presentación de casos clínicos RESUMEN Los cuerpos extraños en el esófago son accidentes evitables que se observan, con mayor frecuencia, en niños menores de 3 años. Los síntomas de presentación más comunes son la disfagia, la sialorrea y los vómitos. Ocasionalmente, un cuerpo extraño en el esófago puede manifestarse con síntomas respiratorios, tales como tos, estridor y dificultad respiratoria. Esto es más frecuente en los niños pequeños y cuando el objeto permanece alojado en el esófago durante un período prolongado. La sospecha clínica es fundamental para el diagnóstico precoz, lo cual permite evitar potenciales complicaciones. Describimos a 3 niños con un cuerpo extraño impactado en el esófago que presentaron, principalmente, síntomas respiratorios. Alertamos a los pediatras sobre la variación sintomática en la presentación de un cuerpo extraño ingerido y subrayamos la importancia de realizar un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportunos. Palabras clave: cuerpos extraños, esófago, signos y síntomas respiratorios, niño. ABSTRACTForeign bodies in esophagus are avoidable accidents that occur most often in children younger than 3 years. The most common presenting symptoms are dysphagia, drooling and vomiting. Occasionally a foreign body in the esophagus may present with respiratory symptoms such as cough, stridor and respiratory distress. This is more common in young children and when the object remains lodged in the esophagus for a prolonged period. Clinical suspicion is essential for early diagnosis, which allows to avoid potential complications. We describe 3 children with a foreign body impacted in the esophagus who presented mainly respiratory symptoms. We alert pediatricians on symptomatic variation in the presentation
