Abstract

Impacted foreign body face with knife in situ is an uncommon presentation. The proximity to vital structures and absence of strict management protocol often gives challenges to the consultant and his entire team. The neurovascular stability of the victim is the determinant for definitive investigations and planning of management protocol. X-ray, CT scan and arteriogram were the main investigative tools. Here we are reporting successful removal of an impacted foreign body face, were 12cm of the knife was inside.
