ABSTRACT
Foreign bodies in the oral cavity and pharyngolarynx are one of the most frequently encountered accidental cases in the out patients departments and the emergency room in the otolaryngological fields. Fish bone is the most common foreign body in adults. They are simply removed with a endoscope, but sometimes surgical removal is needed. These foreign bodies occasionally become impacted necessitating general anesthesia for extraction. We experienced a case of fish bone which caused tongue base abscess. It was removed under ultrasonographic guidance with minimal morbidity. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2006;17:270-272)
