Abstract
|
|
|
The foreign bodies in the head and neck areas are common, but metallic foreign
bodies are relatively rare. Foreign bodies embedded in soft tissue may remain
asymptomatic for a very long time, so a patients may not be aware of there foreign
bodies. Those foreign bodies Can cause toxic and allergic reactions, inflammation, or
infection, but the severity of these complications varies widely. Removal can be difficult
and clime consuming, and the potential damage to surrounded tissues caused by the
procedure must be weighed against the risk posed by a particular foreign body. We
present a rare case of metallic foreign body in paraphayngeal space for twenty years
and make recommendations regarding the successful evaluation and management of a
such injuries.
