| Popis: |
Presence of foreign body in thoracic cavity is very uncommon. Most common etiologies for the presence of such foreign bodies are accidental, traumatic or iatrogenic. We report the management of a case with a rare foreign body in the thorax i.e. surgical blade. While inserting ICD the surgical blade slipped from the scalpel and was sucked into the pleural cavity. FB migrated in the mediastinum and Contrast Tomographic scan showed elongated radio-opaque object of metallic density in the mediastinum, just abutting the superior vena cava. An immediate open thoracotomy was planned to retrieve the blade. |
