Abstract:
Foreign bodies in the tongue are rare in clinical practice. Accurate localization and appropriate surgical path selection are essential to reduce surgical risk and postoperative complications. This paper reports a case in which the fishbone foreign body at the base of tongue was removed using a translingual ventral approach aided with imaging localization.
