OBJECTIVES: To report a small case series of an unusual ingested foreign body and a new method for removal of tongue base foreign bodies.
METHODS: Three patients were identified with wire bristle foreign bodies between 2009 and 2011 at our academic tertiary medical center. Their medical records were reviewed and are described in this report.
RESULTS: Each patient presented to our medical center with progressive pain after ingestion of barbecued food. For 2 patients, the metallic bristle foreign body was imbedded within the lingual tonsil. In these 2 cases, radiofrequency plasma ablation (coblation) assisted partial lingual tonsillectomy was performed to identify the foreign body. In a third case, the foreign body presented as a complex deep space neck abscess and an open trans-cervical approach was required.
CONCLUSION: While oropharyngeal and esophageal foreign bodies are common, there are only a few case reports describing this particular foreign body. The presentation of an imbedded wire grill brush bristle can be insidious. Persistent pain and foreign body sensation should be taken seriously in patients with a history of barbecue food ingestion. Intraoperatively, wire bristles can be difficult to localize and extract. Radiofrequency plasma assisted lingual tonsillectomy may be helpful for identifying and removing foreign bodies that are imbedded in the tongue base. Grill brushes should undergo stringent safety regulation, as ingested wire bristles are difficult to localize and remove and may cause significant morbidity.
