“…Literature review discovered 17 relevant sources. [1][2][3][4][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] The most common location of injury (Table 2) was the oropharynx (throat, tonsil, pharynx, vallecula, oropharynx, pyriform sinus, posterior pharyngeal wall) in both the NEISS database (23 of 43 patients, 53.4%) and the literature review (11 of 36 patients, 30.5%). However, the oral cavity (mouth, tongue, palate, teeth) was most frequently listed in the consumer-reported SaferProducts.gov database (9 of 24, 37.5%).…”

“…With the popularity of outdoor grilling, incidence of wire grill brush bristle ingestion has been increasing in recent years [ 6 ]. The most common associated presenting symptoms are odynophagia and throat pain [ 1 – 4 ]. A history of grilled meat ingestion and use of a grill brush is particularly important [ 3 ].…”

“…Wire bristle brushes, which are used to clean grills, have small stiff bristles that can break off during use ( Figure 1 ). Reported cases of ingestion of these foreign bodies are relatively rare, but awareness of this risk has increased in recent years [ 1 – 4 ]. Many physicians have called for better warning labels on grill brushes to increase public awareness [ 2 , 3 , 5 ].…”

Wire brush bristles are an increasingly recognized hazard that can present as a foreign body in the aerodigestive tract. Due to their small size and tendency to become embedded in surrounding tissue, these small metallic bristles present a unique operative challenge to otolaryngologists. Here we present a case of a 40-year-old woman who underwent endoscopic extraction of a wire bristle from the posterior pharyngeal wall using suspension, microscopy, and C-arm fluoroscopy. We believe this is the first published case of an endoscopic removal of a buried foreign body in the hypopharynx using these methods of localization concurrently. By leveraging multiple techniques for visualization, surgeons can avoid open exploration while ensuring complete removal of the object. Additionally, this case highlights the importance of regulatory oversight and consumer awareness of the hazards of grill brushes.

Objective Inadvertently ingested grill brush bristles can lodge in various locations and lead to a variety of injuries. They can also be difficult to identify and remove. Our primary objective was to perform a systematic review of cases reported in the literature, with analysis of trends in clinical presentation and success of diagnostic modalities and treatment approaches. Data Sources Cases of reported grill brush bristle ingestion reported in PubMed, PubMed Central, and Google Scholar databases through April 30, 2021. Review Methods Databases were searched for the following terms: (“ingestion” OR “injury” OR “barbeque” OR “BBQ” OR “grill” OR “foreign body” OR “brush” AND “wire” OR “bristle”). Data were collected on patient demographics, clinical presentation, and treatment course. Statistical analysis was performed on characteristics with low risk of confounding. Results An overall 57 studies involving 91 patients were included. Grill brush bristles presented most commonly in the upper aerodigestive tract (48/91), followed by the abdomen (26/91) and deep neck (17/91). Computed tomography was the most accurate imaging modality for initial diagnosis, identifying 92.8% of bristles. Less invasive or adjunctive techniques such as endoscopy, intraoperative imaging, or minimally invasive surgery may be useful particularly for bristles located in the head and neck given the low rate of success of transoral surgery (66.7%). Conclusion Although this review of retained bristle may be biased toward complex cases, retained grill brush bristles represent an underrecognized and difficult-to-manage hazard. When cases are suspected, clinicians should obtain computed tomography imaging based on presentation and tailor management appropriately.
