Tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration demonstrating serial bronchopulmonary changes on computed tomography.

[allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis]

Tracheobronchial foreign body may often be treated as asthma , chronic bronchitis or etc . especially in patients with no memories of aspiration episodes .A 74 -year -old woman , suffering from persistent cough , was temporarily misdiagnosed with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and treated for six months . During this period , computed tomography (CT ) findings changed from thickened bronchial walls and a "tree-in -bud " pattern to clubbing bronchiectasis and atelectasis , and no significant bacteria was detected . Finally , a vegetable core was subsequently extracted via flexible bronchofiberscopy . Although the patient 's symptoms improved dramatically , the bronchopulmonary lesion remained practically .We assume that chronologic CT findings of the bronchopulmonary damage by aspiration of a vegetable core , without significant detection of bacteria during the course , will be quite valuable for clinicians .
