Sand aspiration in drowning and near drowning

J Bonilla-Santiago and WL Fill

Aspiration of sand and other foreign material is often discovered at autopsy in victims of drowning, but is not commonly seen radiographically. Two such cases are described, one of drowning and one of near drowning. In each case, the sand was radiopaque because of its calcium carbonate content and created a "sand bronchogram", i.e., sand in the tracheobronchial tree. With early recognition, successful bronchoscopic removal of the aspirated sand is possible.
