Remove an Unusual Laryngeal Foreign Body with a Modified Endoscopic Injection Needle.

Foreign body (FB) aspiration requiring prompt intervention to prevent severe complications. The endoscopic injection needle, commonly employed for intramucosal injections in the gastrointestinal tract and respiratory tract, while with no previous reports of used for FB extraction. Here we report a case of a pea impacted in the laryngeal ventricle of an adult patient, which became lodged in her right laryngeal ventricle. Conventional methods, such as flexible forceps and baskets, were deemed unsuitable for retrieving this fragile and mushy FB. Therefore, we introduce a novel technique using a modified endoscopic injection needle, which proved successful in removing the foreign body. Laryngoscope, 2023.
