Breakage of a local anesthetic needle in dentistry is a rare but potentially serious event. Here we describe a case of breakage of a hypodermic needle during administration of local anesthesia with a Vazirani-Akinosi mandibular nerve block in a 5-year-old uncooperative patient under moderate sedation with midazolam. The needle was localized using a fluoroscopy device and then removed under general anaesthesia. The postoperative course was unremarkable, without any neurological or vascular deficits.
牙科局部麻醉针折断是一种罕见但可能严重的事件。在此,我们描述一例在对一名5岁不合作患儿使用咪达唑仑进行中度镇静下,采用瓦齐拉尼 - 阿基诺西下颌神经阻滞进行局部麻醉时皮下注射针折断的病例。使用荧光透视设备定位针头,然后在全身麻醉下取出。术后过程顺利,无任何神经或血管功能缺损。
