Foreign body aspiration is quite uncommon in the adults. It can be a life-threatening situation and it often requires a high index of suspicion, because the diagnosis can be obscure.
We present a case of food aspiration by a 31-year old female patient, masquerading as diaphragmatic hernia, for the first time in the literature.
Foreign body aspiration may escape diagnosis, especially if there is no recollection of the episode.
The thoracic surgeon may be suspicious of this condition, even if the patient history and imaging obscure the clinical picture.
成人异物吸入相当罕见。这可能是一种危及生命的情况,且常常需要高度的怀疑指数,因为诊断可能不明确。
我们报告一例31岁女性患者食物吸入的病例,在文献中首次伪装成膈疝。
异物吸入可能无法得到诊断,尤其是如果没有对该事件的记忆。
即使患者病史和影像学检查使临床表现不明确,胸外科医生也可能怀疑这种情况。
