The presence of an intravascular foreign body represents a well-known risk of serious complications. While in the past surgical removal of intravascular foreign body was the most common intervention, nowadays a percutaneous approach in the retrieval of an intravascular foreign body is widely accepted as the first-line technique. In the literature, many case reports describe different techniques and materials. This article summarizes and illustrates the main materials and techniques currently applied for percutaneous retrieval of intravascular foreign body, providing a simplified tool with different interventional possibilities, adaptable to different clinical situations.

Objectives 1) To understand indications for removal of foreign bodies (FB) from the head and neck. 2) To be able to describe the use of new surgical technologies for FB removal from the head and neck region. 3) To understand the clinical applications of a novel, minimally-invasive technique for removal of FB from the infratemporal fossa. Methods A retrospective review of 2 cases of infratemporal fossa foreign bodies, which were referred to a tertiary care facility for management utilizing a novel transoral, endoscopic, image-guided approach. Results Both patients presented with pain and trismus following failed attempts to retrieve foreign bodies–1 broken hypodermic needle and 1 torn cottonoid sponge-through open explorations. Use of endoscopic equipment for visualization and image-guidance system for precise localization enabled both objects to be removed through a transoral approach. Surgical removal resulted in improvement in pain and trismus in both patients who were discharged within 24 hours. Conclusions A new approach is now available for the minimally-invasive retrieval of radio-opaque foreign bodies in the infratemporal fossa, which avoids the need for extensive surgical dissection or an external incision.

Foreign bodies (FBs) retained in the subcutaneous tissues are a common reason for medical consultation. In small animals, FBs usually consist of vegetal materials, especially grass awns. Failure to remove the FBs is likely to give rise to acute or late complications. The surgical removal of the FBs can be invasive, costly and technically challenging. Ultrasound has become a mainstay in the detection of FBs and it can be used to guide the extraction of the FBs with a minimally invasive technique. This study describes the detection and extraction of soft-tissue FBs in small animals. One hundred-sixty-two patients, presenting at two veterinary clinics with suspected FBs retained in the soft tissues of various body districts, were considered. Once an ultrasound diagnosis was established, the ultrasound-guided removal of the FB was performed. A high-frequency linear transducer, a skin disinfection, sedation or anaesthesia was used when needed and a scalpel and some Hartmann forceps were also used. One hundred-eighty-two FBs were successfully removed in all the patients. In six cases, the FB was identified during a second ultrasonographic examination, after recurrence of the fistula. No complications were reported after the procedure. The extraction of the FB was performed in an echographic suite in 138 cases and in a surgery room with surgical intervention in 24 cases. In the latter situation, the surgical minimally invasive dissection of tissues under ultrasound guidance was performed before the removal of the FB. In conclusion, the ultrasound-guided removal of the FBs retained in the superficial soft tissue can be considered a good alternative to surgery. However, failure to remove a FB does not preclude the removal by traditional surgery.

The presence of an embedded foreign body in the oral and maxillofacial region is not unusual, but the impaction of a foreign body with vegetative nature is rare. Prompt diagnosis and surgical removal of these foreign bodies will minimize their associated complications. This case report presents a patient with recurrent submandibular abscess and persistent facial cutaneous sinus tract caused by a retained blade of grass inside the facial soft tissue. The fact that the plain radiograph misdiagnosed the presence of a foreign body meant that the pathology persisted for about three months, and the patient underwent hospitalization, surgical procedures, and antibiotic regimens; however all of these failed until the foreign body was detected and removed.Conclusion. To avoid misdiagnosis of foreign body presence in the orofacial region, notably suspected foreign bodies with low radiopacity, the clinician must perform careful clinical examination and use the ultrasonography. Also, in the uncertain cases where the pathology persists, despite having undertaken surgical procedures and antibiotic regimens, the clinician should pay more attention to the patient’s history which may suggest the presence of the foreign body.

Abstract Background: Metallic foreign body migration into the pulmonary artery after limb trauma is extremely rare. If not treated in time, the patient may die. The metallic foreign body was implanted from the thigh into the pulmonary artery and remained for 5 years. It has never been reported in limb trauma.Case Presentation: The patient was a 51-year-old male who had a small metal foreign body embedded in the middle and lower left thigh due to trauma. The foreign body was not found during emergency debridement operation. During the operation, a full-body X-ray was used to reveal a high-density shadow in the left upper lung. The 3D-CT of the chest immediately confirmed that the high-density shadow was a small iron foreign body, and the iron fragment foreign body was present in the pulmonary artery branch, but no abnormal symptoms were observed. He was hospitalized for observation for 3 days without obvious discomfort and refused to open his chest. The patient then decided to leave the hospital voluntarily.Conclusion: Surgical removal of all foreign bodies traveling to the pulmonary artery is not necessary, and the most appropriate treatment plan should be made considering the location of the foreign body, the patient's wishes and the general condition.

Cervical Spine Myelopathy

     A Civilian gunshot wound associated with metallosis in the cervical spine region was an extremely rare case; hence, the clinician had difficulty with diagnosis and surgical treatment.      A 57–year-old gentleman had a history of a gunshot wound injury going back 30 years. He presented with neck pain, progress of paresthesia of upper extremities and progressively difficult ambulation for 3 months. Radiographic and pathological diagnosis from tissue of the 7th paravertebral of the cervical spine showed foreign bodies consistent with metallosis. The patient showed improvement of symptoms after posterior cervical spine fixation and decompression. He had full recovery at 1 year follow up.      Metallosis can occur in cases of chronic exposure to lead and metals. The results of this chronic process of metallosis will develop to metalloma, which then compresses the spinal cord and develops into myelopathy. The patient had a bullet, or piece of metal at the cervical spine, so surgical removal was performed to prevent further compression of the spinal cord from metalloma.

The diagnosis and management of intraorbital foreign bodies are challenging for surgeons. Foreign bodies made of wood and those located close to the optic nerve are especially difficult to manage. Herein, we report our experience with the diagnosis and management of intraorbital wooden foreign bodies utilizing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A 50-year-old man presented to the emergency room with a laceration on his left upper eyelid. No foreign bodies were visible through the laceration, and computed tomography findings showed only evidence of cellulitis with abscess formation. Despite drainage and antibiotics, the cellulitis worsened; subsequently, we found multiple wooden foreign bodies on MRI. Surgical removal was performed, excluding those in the intraconal space to avoid optic nerve damage. The patient recovered well and has not experienced any ophthalmic complications at 1 year of follow-up.

Purpose: To analyze the anatomical and functional ophthalmic parameters after the surgical removal of various intraorbital foreign bodies. Methods: A retrospective analysis of medical records was performed featuring detailed history, ophthalmic examination, orbital computed tomographic scans, treatment details, and outcomes. The analyzed anatomical factors included extraocular movements, the position of the eyeball (proptosis, dystopia, and enophthalmos), and fullness of orbital sulci. The functional assessment was based on visual acuity, pupillary reactions, and diplopia. The outcomes were defined as complete, partial, and failure after a minimum follow-up of 1 year. Results: Of 32 patients, the organic and inorganic intraorbital foreign bodies were surgically removed from 18 (56.25%) and 14 (43.75%) orbits, respectively. At presentation, anatomically the extraocular movement restriction, proptosis/dystopia/enophthalmos, and orbital sulcus fullness were noted in 26 (81.25%), 24 (75%), and 15 (46.88%), respectively. Functionally, diminished visual acuity, diplopia, and pupil abnormalities were seen in 27 (84.38%), 14 (43.75%), and 8 (25%), respectively. After intraorbital foreign body removal at a mean follow-up of 14 months, the improvement of anatomical factors (same sequence) were observed in 8 (30.77%), 20 (83.33%), and 12 (80%), respectively. In functional factors (same sequence), the improvement was noted in none (0%), 13 (92.86%), and 5 (62.5%), respectively. Hence, the majority of patients (n = 20, 62.5%) achieved partial success, while 8 (25%) had complete success. Four (12.5%) had treatment failure despite similar management protocols. Conclusion: The anatomical outcomes are better than the functional outcomes after surgical removal of the intraorbital foreign bodies. The visual acuity does not improve considerably after the surgical removal of intraorbital foreign bodies. Overall, the wooden intraorbital foreign bodies have poorer anatomical and functional prognosis.
