A retained needlefish jaw near the C5-C6 joint caused chronic pain, confirmed by FDG-PET scan. Image-guided posterior surgery successfully treated this rare condition after anterior approaches failed due to complications.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Medical Imaging
- Foreign Body Removal
Background:
- Retained foreign bodies in the cervical spine are rare.
- Needlefish jaw foreign bodies present unique diagnostic and surgical challenges.
- Chronic pain and inflammation can result from retained cervical spine foreign bodies.
