“…Normal lymph nodes are isointense or slightly hyperintense to fat on T2-weighted MRI sequences whereas glass appears as hypointense on T1 and T2, as was the case here ( Figs. 1 C, F) [6 , 7] . Studies of an in vitro/ex vivo model of the orbit and pig eyes have shown that even small amounts of lead within glass may result in artifacts on MRI appearing as areas of hypointensity surrounded by hyperintensity [8] .…”

“…Even though foreign body incorporation might seem obvious in certain circumstances (e.g., impalement injuries, gravel debris in superficial wounds), it can sometimes go unnoticed [ 1 ]. In both events, the management of foreign bodies relies on imaging techniques in which radiation exposure, cost, availability, and patient-specific limitations must be reviewed [ 1 , 2 ].…”

Foreign body injuries in the head and neck region can be life-threatening. Managing pediatric patients in this context may be increasingly challenging due to several medical and legal reasons. In order to optimize the management of foreign body injuries and to guide treatment procedures, various imaging techniques, with specific assets and liabilities, must be employed. Nevertheless, the "As Low As Reasonably Achievable'' principle must be kept in mind when managing pediatric patients since children are more radiosensitive than adults. Guidelines for imaging pediatric head traumas are provided by the American College of Radiology (ACR), relying on the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) severity classification. We report the case of a three-year-old child in whom a considerable delay occurred in diagnosing a foreign body impaction, due to an occult clinical presentation. In this case study, we focus on outlining the importance of considering advanced imaging investigations for children in the wake of traumatic events.

Key Clinical MessageForeign body ingestion/aspiration can occur during orthodontic procedures that may be of minimal risk or lead to acute medical and life‐threatening emergencies. The present report describes a rare case of retained orthodontic wire fragment in the masticator space for nearly two decades identified as an incidental radiographic finding, highlighting the importance of optimum care in the dental clinic at all times be it surgical or nonsurgical intervention.
