The use of preoperative CT-guided microcoil placement in localization of a head and neck foreign body

Abstract

Foreign body removal in the head and neck region can be a challenging procedure, especially when it comes to a second look procedure with scar tissue. Multiple techniques for pre- or intraoperative localization of foreign bodies are known. Here we present the use of preoperative CT-guided fibroid embolic microcoil placement as a potential option for intraoperative soft tissue foreign body localization by the Otolaryngologist.
