The Hyoid Bone01:12

The Hyoid Bone

5.9K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Foreign bodies in the upper aerodigestive tract are common in otolaryngology.
  • Migration of ingested foreign bodies to the neck is exceptionally rare.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of an ingested foreign body migrating to the neck.
  • To emphasize the importance of considering this rare condition in the differential diagnosis of neck masses.

Main Methods:

  • A case report of a 66-year-old woman with a painful neck mass.
  • Diagnostic imaging including X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scans.
  • Surgical excision of the foreign body.

Main Results:

  • A 3-cm linear foreign body was identified in the neck via imaging.
  • Surgical excision of the foreign body led to symptom resolution.
  • Antibiotherapy was ineffective in treating the patient's symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • Migration of ingested foreign bodies to the neck is a rare but important differential diagnosis for neck masses.
  • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for patient recovery.
  • This case underscores the need for vigilance in identifying unusual presentations of foreign body ingestion.
