Q

common site of FB

A

neck
abdomen
chest
body orifices

16
Q

indication for urgent removal of FB in esophagus

A
  • sharp object
  • button battery
  • bone fragment
  • any corrosive agents
  • potential perforation
17
Q

indications for urgent removal of FB in the stomach

A

persistent vomiting
progressive abdominal distention

18
Q

indications for urgent removal of FBs in abdomen

A

abdominal pain/ peritonitis
gastrointestinal bleeding
failure to move distally for more than 2 weeks

19
Q

indication of possible perforation of esophagus

A

air in
- cervical soft tissue
- subcutaneous
- supraclavicular
- mediastinum

pneumothorax
pleural effusion
retropharyngeal swelling

20
Q

what view to take for aspirated FB

A

expiratory in patients who can cooperate
if not, consider bilateral decubitus

21
Q

why is bilateral decubitus done for aspirated FB

A

assess air-trapping caused by inhaled FB
expectation is that the dependent lung will collapse partially in the normal patient
where there is an obstructive FB, there will be an air-trapping and hyperlucency of the dependent lung

22
Q

what is the teardrop sign in facial fracture associated with

A

-herniation of orbital contents through orbital floor
- associated fracture of the maxillary sinus allows air to leak into the orbit

23
Q

what does black eyebrow sign in an orbital blowout fracture associated with

A

fracture of the maxillary sinus allows air to leak into the orbit

24
Q

what structures can be identified by the first Dolan line?

A

fracture of the superior rim of orbits

black eyebrow sign due to orbital emphysema

opacification/ air-fluid level in the frontal sinuses side

25
Q

what structures can be identified by the second dolan line

A

widening of the zygomatico-frontal suture

26
Q

what structures can be identified by the third dolan line

A

mouth roof and maxillary sinuses

27
Q

where does the first dolan line run

A

orbital line

  • traces the inner margins of the lateral, inferior and medial orbital wall and the nasal arch
28
Q

where does the second dolan line run

A

zygomatic line

  • traces the superior margin of the zygomatic arch and body, extending along the frontal process of the zygoma to the zygomaticofrontal suture
29
Q

where does the third dolan line run

A

maxillary line

  • traces the inferior margin of the zygomatic arch, body and the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus
30
Q

how does the first line of McGrigor Campbell line run

A

passes through the zygomatico-frontal sutures and across the upper edge of the orbits

31
Q

how does the second line of McGrigor Campbell line run

A

follows the zygomatic arch, crosses the zygomatic bone and follows the inferior orbital margins to the opposite side

32
Q

how does the third line of McGrigor Campbell line run

A

connect the condyle and coronoid process of the mandible and medial wall of maxillary antra on each side

33
Q

how does the fourth line of McGrigor Campbell line run

A

passes the mandible ramus and the occlusal plane of teeth

34
Q

what does the first McGrigor Campbell line see

A
  • widening of zygomatico-frontal suture
  • fractures of the superior rim of the orbits
  • black eyebrow sign
  • opacification/ air-fluid level in the frontal sinuses side
35
Q

what does the second McGrigor Campbell line see

A
  • fracture of superior aspect of the zygomatic arch
  • fracture of inferior rim of orbits
  • soft tissue shadow in superior maxillary antrum
  • fracture of nasoethmoid bones and medial orbits
36
Q

what does the third McGrigor Campbell line see

A
  • fractures of the inferior aspect of zygomatic arch
  • fractures of the lateral maxillary antrum
  • opacification/ air fluid level in the maxillary sinus
  • fractures of the alveolar ridge
