Migration of foreign bodies into the urinary tract is a rare event. In certain instances, to unravel the way that objects arrived in the urinary tract is not easy. We report the case of an accidentally swallowed wooden toothpick that migrated and was found in the left ureterovesical junction, protruding into the bladder. Even though the computed tomography scan is widely employed to evaluate the urinary tract, this resource does not have a good sensitivity for detecting foreign bodies. Our report presents an insight into the best imaging approach if wooden toothpicks are suspected. In the present case, the endoscopic treatment was possible with an uneventful outcome and a complete resolution of symptoms.
异物迁移进入泌尿道是一种罕见的事件。在某些情况下，要弄清楚物体进入泌尿道的途径并不容易。我们报告了一个意外吞下的木制牙签迁移并在左输尿管膀胱交界处发现，突入膀胱的病例。尽管计算机断层扫描广泛用于评估泌尿道，但该方法对外来异物的敏感性并不高。我们的报告提供了一个思路，如果怀疑是木制牙签，最好的影像学检查方法是什么。在本病例中，采用内镜治疗，结果无并发症，症状完全缓解。
