Penetrating neck wounds are potentially dangerous and require emergency management because of the presence of vital structures in the neck. Organic foreign bodies further carry a risk of wound infection. Three interesting penetrating neck injury with foreign bodies are presented of which two are metallic, one with bamboo stick penetrating the neck tissue without damaging any vital structures except facial nerve injury. Mod e of entry, the peculiarity of the foreign body, the management protocol and the outcomes of neck injury are evaluated in the three cases of this case report. Review of literature revealed that few such cases have been reported. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bmj.v42i1.18978 Bangladesh Med J. 2013 Jan; 42 (1): 31-33

<p class="abstract">Foreign bodies of submandibular duct are rarely but consistently reported in literature. They usually present as obstructive submandibular sialadenitis. The diagnosis can be challenging because of rarity of such an event, and inability of traditional diagnostic methods to detect the foreign body. We sought to assemble the previous published literature to delineate the presentation, investigation and management of submandibular gland foreign bodies. We performed a comprehensive systematic literature review of PubMed, and Google Scholar, databases from 1960 to 2019, and analyzed the case reports and research articles proclaiming detection of foreign body in the submandibular gland or its duct. We also included a case found in our hospital in the review. A total of 28 articles full filled our criteria. The earliest article found was from year 1962 and latest in 2019, amounting to 28 research articles on this topic in last 58 years. The age ranged from 9 years to 78 years, with average age of 38.7 year. The left Submandibular gland was involved in 18 cases (75%), and right in 6 cases (25%). There was a varied array of foreign bodies retrieved. Patients underwent sialadenectomy, duct excision, intervention by milking, probing or with a forceps or more recently interventional sialendoscopy. To approach an early diagnosis, a patient history needs to be believed. High resolution oral ultrasonography with interventional sialendoscopy can become the hallmark of a future approach to submandibular duct foreign bodies.</p>

Abstract There are many case reports of unusual foreign bodies found in the urinary bladder. Most of these are self-inserted. Mostly these foreign bodies were inserted as a result of sexual curiosity or sexual perversion but there may be other reasons like psychiatric problems. The treatment is individualized and determined by the size, location, shape, nature and mobility of the foreign body. Here we report a peculiar case of a headset in urinary bladder.

<p class="abstract">Gossypiboma is a dreaded event in surgical expertise. We report a case of post hemithyroidectomy gossypiboma removed 4 years post primary surgery. Initially suspecting it to be a tubercular abscess and fistula, we surprisingly found a surgical gauze on neck exploration. To understand the magnitude of this problem we assembled data on reported gossypibomas post neck surgeries. A detailed search of literature revealed 16 publications (20 cases) with varied clinical picture and differentials. Our case is only the fourth published case wherein there is such a long-standing history and the first to assemble data and review literature on exclusive neck gossypibomas. Although, neck is regarded as a confined cavity with very few obvious crevices where foreign body can be left behind iatrogenically; still, gossypiboma needs to be kept as a differential, especially with a previous surgical history.</p>
