Less common acute diseases of the upper respiratory tract in children
Description
The radiologist should recognize dangerous uncommon conditions such as epiglottitis and membranous croup by their pattern on conventional images. Subglottic narrowing, as from croup, is recognizable on lateral images by loss of the superior interface of trachea and vocal cords. A lateral image is important when an upper esophageal foreign body is seen on a frontal view. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Der Radiologe sollte seltene gefaehrliche Krankheitsbilder wie z.B. eine Epiglottits oder einen membranoesen Krupp anhand eines Nativroentgens erkennen. Subglottische Stenosen wie beim Krupp sind durch den Verlust der Grenzflaechen zwischen Trachea und Stimmbaendern gekennzeichnet. Ein laterales Roentgenbild ist insbesondere bei einem a.-p.-Bild diagnostizierten Fremdkoerpern wichtig. (orig.)Additional details
