A 3-year-old English Setter dog was presented for an acute onset of coughing. Tracheobronchoscopic examination allowed localization and removal of one grass awn foreign body. A second migrated grass awn was suspected to be present in the left caudal lung lobe. Transesophageal ultrasound revealed an area of pulmonary consolidation in the dorsomedial portion of left caudal lobe and a linear hyperechoic structure consistent with a grass awn foreign body within the area of consolidation. Transesophageal ultrasonography was also used to provide anatomical landmarks that facilitated successful thoracoscopic removal of the foreign body.
一只3岁的英国塞特犬因突然咳嗽前来就诊。气管支气管镜检查定位并取出了一根草芒异物。怀疑左后肺叶存在另一根游走的草芒。经食管超声显示左后叶背内侧部分有肺实变区域，且在实变区域内有一条与草芒异物相符的线性高回声结构。经食管超声还用于提供解剖标志，以协助成功通过胸腔镜取出异物。
