Risques et bénéfices d'une approche interventionnelle face aux corps étrangers digestifs [Digestive foreign body management].

Foreign body (FB) ingestion is a frequent reason for gastroenterology consulting. Eighty percent of these ingestions are accidental and observed among paediatric subjects. However, intentional repetitive ingestions are also observed, especially amongst prisoners or psychiatric patients. Most FBs pass throughout the digestive tract without any complication and without any need for surgical or endoscopic intervention. Nevertheless, around 10-20% of cases require an endoscopy examination and 1% will lead to a surgical intervention. Management approaches should favor inter-disciplinarity, balance benefits and risks of FB removal based on its location, and integrate psychiatric comorbidities into the decision process.

Maladie de Whipple: quand y penser [Whipple's disease, when to think about it?].

Whipple's disease is a chronic, systemic, bacterial infection caused by Tropheryma whipplei. Its cardinal symptoms include intermittent and recurrent arthralgia or arthritis together with chronic diarrhoea, abdominal pain and weight loss. It may mimick many chronic inflammatory diseases, and the diagnosis remains a challenge. Salivary and faecal quantitative PCR for T. whipplei should be ensued, if positive, by an upper endoscopy for duodenal biopsies. The treatment consists of a combination of oral doxycycline and hydroxychloroquine for 12 months followed by life-long doxycycline. Whipple's disease, although rare, is an entity that should be considered regularly, as its progression may be fatal if left untreated.

Congenital lobar emphysema presenting as an airway foreign body.

We report here the case of a 15 months old girl presenting with clinical signs and radiological exams highly suggestive of a foreign body (FB) aspiration. Diagnostic endoscopy revealed an overlooked bronchial malformation responsible for a congenital lobar emphysema (CLE). CLE presenting after one year of age is rare and can easily be misdiagnosed. Therefore, the possibility of an overlooked CLE needs to be known and evoked as an alternative diagnosis when dealing with children presenting with suspected FB aspirations. We report on this unexpected, yet misleading presentation of CLE and review the available literature on the subject.
