Broncho- and pyeloectasia are a consequence of a number of diseases. Bronchiectosis in children contributes to diseases of the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, malnutrition and developmental defects. In adults, they often result from untreated pneumonia, tuberculosis, emphysema and bronchitis. This pathology can be congenital if the formation of an organ is disrupted during embryogenesis. Often in practice, bronchopyelectatic dysplasia and bronchopyloectasis of unspecified etiology occur. Pyelo- and bronchopleural cysts are often detected and differentiated later. They can be located near the spine or kidneys, and be of different shapes and sizes. Occurs in pathologies of the kidneys or bronchi. Often found in adolescents. In adults they are usually congenital anomalies.
**Causes of occurrence** Broncho- and pilectasias in newborns and children are: * infectious diseases; * hemolytic anemia; * gastrointestinal pathologies; * heart diseases; * eating disorders; * developmental defects; * severe toxicosis, both during pregnancy and after the birth of a child
Bronchiectasis of varicose veins: understanding and treatment
Varicose vein bronchiectasis, also known as beaded bronchiectasis, is a rare and special condition characterized by dilation and deformation of the bronchial tubes in the lungs. This is a serious condition that can lead to chronic breathing problems and an increased risk of respiratory tract infections. In this article, we will review the basic aspects of varicose vein bronchiectasis, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.
The main causes of varicose-type bronchiectasis may be associated with congenital abnormalities of the bronchial tree or acquired factors such as chronic infections, immunodeficiencies or autoimmune diseases. Dilation of the bronchial tubes occurs due to constant inflammation and destruction of the walls of the bronchi, which leads to the formation of cavities or cysts. These cavities can fill with secretions and make it easier for bacteria to multiply, ultimately leading to infections and breathing problems.
Symptoms of bronchiectasis of varicose veins can be varied and include:
- Chronic cough accompanied by the production of large amounts of sputum.
- Recurrent respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia.
- Difficulty breathing, shortness of breath and fatigue.
- Hemoptysis (less common, but possible).
Diagnosis of variceal bronchiectasis includes the patient's medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests such as sputum and culture, and imaging studies such as computed tomography (CT) of the chest or bronchoscopy. CT scanning is the most informative method for visualizing dilated bronchial tubes and assessing the extent of the disease.
Treatment for bronchiectasis of varicose veins is aimed at improving the patient's quality of life, preventing infections and controlling symptoms. Various approaches are used to achieve these goals, including physical therapy, antibiotic therapy, mucolytic drugs to thin sputum, bronchodilators to aid breathing, and reconstructive surgery.
It is important to note that varicose bronchiectasis is a chronic disease that requires long-term and systematic treatment. Regular adherence to your doctor's recommendations, use of prescribed medications, and rehabilitation treatments can help control symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
However, in some cases, when conservative treatment does not lead to improvement of the patient's condition or when varicose vein bronchiectasis leads to serious complications, surgical intervention may be required. Surgical procedures such as resection or reconstruction of affected bronchial tubes may be considered as a treatment option.
In conclusion, varicose vein bronchiectasis is a rare and serious disease that requires a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment. Patients with suspected varicose vein bronchiectasis should consult a pulmonologist to obtain an accurate diagnosis and develop an individual treatment plan. Regular monitoring and following doctor's recommendations will help patients cope with this condition and improve their quality of life.
