Foreign body ingestion is a problem that commonly presents in almost all otolaryngologic practices. However, less commonly do those foreign bodies perforate, migrate to, and impact the soft tissue of the neck while nearly invading the carotid sheath that accommodates the major neurovascular supply of the head. We report the case of a patient who had radiologic evidence of foreign body impaction and required neck exploration through an external approach to retrieve a crab leg embedded far within the deep cervical fascia.
异物吞食是几乎在所有耳鼻喉科诊疗中都会常见出现的问题。然而,异物穿孔、迁移至并嵌顿于颈部软组织,同时几乎侵犯容纳头部主要神经血管供应的颈动脉鞘的情况则较少见。我们报告一例患者,其有异物嵌顿的影像学证据,需要通过外部入路进行颈部探查,以取出深埋于颈深筋膜内的蟹腿。
