Marked Improvements in Airway Abnormalities and Multifaceted Outcomes After 2 Years Switching to Avalglucosidase Alfa: Evaluation of A 19-Year-Old Male Diagnosed With Late-Onset Pompe Disease.

Pompe disease (PD), a severe inherited metabolic myopathy caused by the deficiency of acid α-glucosidase (GAA), is characterized by progressive myopathy with reduced muscle strength, endurance, and respiratory insufficiency. The primary GAA deficiency treatment is enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with alglucosidase alfa; however, its long-term efficacy seems to diminish with time. In 2021, a new ERT medication, avalglucosidase alfa, was approved for patients over 6 months of age with PD in Taiwan.

Pulmonary hamartomas are the most common benign tumours of the lung and are often detected incidentally. Endobronchial hamartomas, though rare, can cause significant symptoms such as dyspnoea, haemoptysis, and recurrent respiratory infections due to bronchial obstruction. This report describes the successful bronchoscopic management of symptomatic endobronchial hamartomas in two young Indian males aged 29 and 34 years.

Detection of sustained, exhaled carbon dioxide by waveform capnography is an essential component of tracheal intubation in current practice. However, this may be impossible in rare clinical situations. International guidelines include flexible bronchoscopy as an alternative method of confirming tracheal intubation when capnography is inconclusive and tube removal is considered dangerous.

Introduction And Importance: Endobronchial solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms that account for less than 2 % of all SFTs. Diagnosis and treatment are major challenges because of their rarity and varied presentation. We present a case of endobronchial SFT that was successfully treated with minimally invasive bronchoscopic excision and review the literature to highlight the latest developments in diagnosis and treatment.

Rationale: Foreign body aspiration is a rare yet potentially life-threatening condition in critically ill patients. Aspiration of dental fragments, including teeth, is exceedingly uncommon but can lead to significant airway complications, requiring prompt recognition and tailored intervention. Reporting such cases contributes valuable insights into the challenges faced in critical care and highlights effective management strategies.
