摘要：
Penetrating injury of the pharynx is rare, but it can cause serious sequelae in children. A 12-month-old boy was impaled with a toothbrush in the retropharyngeal space after falling from a baby-bed. The point of the toothbrush was embedded beside the carotid artery and was removed by endoscopic surgical technique. The patient was discharged without neurological complication or abscess formation. We present a rare case of a penetrating injury by a toothbrush and discuss such injuries. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
