Özet
Removal of foreign bodies or broken surgical armamentrium in the maxillofacial region may be quite challenging depending on the location and adjacent anatomical structures. Preoperative and intraoperative imagings are very important for successful removal. We report a case of a suture needle, accidentally retained in the pterygomandibular space during the extraction of upper wisdom third molar that was removed via intraoral route using C-arm fluoroscope. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S.
