Abstract
|
|
|
Foreign bodies in the oral cavity and pharyngolarynx are one of the most frequently encountered accidental cases
in the out patients departments and the emergency room in the otolaryngological fields. Fish bone is the most
common foreign body in adults. They are simply removed with a endoscope, but sometimes surgical removal
is needed. These foreign bodies occasionally become impacted necessitating general anesthesia for extraction.
We experienced a case of fish bone which caused tongue base abscess. It was removed under ultrasonographic
guidance with minimal morbidity.
