초록

Foreign bodies of the parapharyngeal space can cause severe complications such as descending suppurative mediastinitis, jugular thrombophlebitis, cavernous sinus thrombosis and carotid erosion. Therefore, early diagnosis and surgical intervention are needed to reduce morbidity and mortality. We present a case of a toothbrush as foreign body in the parapharyngeal space in 28-year-old male patient. The tooth brush was broken and the remnant of that was left in the patient's mouth. Under general anesthesia, intraoral approach was undertaken and successfully the toothbrush was removed, and then incision and drainage was done by transcervical approach. We report this case with review of literature.
