An impalement-related injury to the oral cavity is common in pediatric patients at emergency department. A computed tomography evaluation is not always suitable in these cases. Herein, we aimed to present oral sonography findings from six pediatric patients presenting with impalement-related injury to the oral cavity.
All included patients were younger than 4 years and sustained injuries with a toothbrush, chopstick, water gun, and fork to the tonsils, submandibular gland area, uvula, and under the tongue.
Ultrasound imaging appeared useful in helping diagnose impalement-related injuries lateral to the midline.
口腔刺伤在急诊科的儿科患者中很常见。在这些情况下，计算机断层扫描评估并不总是适用。在此，我们旨在展示 6 例因口腔刺伤而就诊的儿科患者的口腔超声检查结果。
所有纳入的患者年龄均小于 4 岁，损伤部位为扁桃体、下颌下腺区、悬雍垂和舌下，致伤物分别为牙刷、筷子、水枪和叉子。
超声成像在帮助诊断中线旁侧的刺伤方面似乎很有用。
