Reports of ingested foreign bodies penetrating the pharynx and migrating through the neck are rare, and mostly involved fish bones. We describe a 44-year-old man who was involved in a motor vehicle accident and accidentally swallowed his tooth. The swallowed tooth penetrated the pharynx and became lodged adjacent to his right thyroid gland. It was successfully removed via neck exploration and the patient recovered well.
关于摄入的异物穿透咽部并在颈部游走的报道很少见,且大多涉及鱼骨。我们描述了一名44岁男性,他在机动车事故中意外吞下了自己的牙齿。吞下的牙齿穿透了咽部,卡在右侧甲状腺附近。通过颈部探查成功取出,患者恢复良好。
