Soft Tissue Foreign Body: Utility of High Resolution Ultrasonography

Abstract: High resolution USG is not only an efficient modality in diagnosing and localizing the foreign body in soft tissue, but can also be utilized for guiding the foreign body removal.

“…Wood pieces were precisely diagnosed as hyperechoic structures with clean distal shadowing, while pieces of clothing appeared as an echogenic line within the rumenal lumen. These ultrasonographic findings of foreign material were similar to those previously recorded by Mohammadi et al, 2011 [13], Gomaa and Abdelaal, 2015 [8], and Hiremath et al, 2017 [9].…”

“…Wood pieces were precisely diagnosed as hyperechoic structures with clean distal shadowing, while pieces of clothing appeared as an echogenic line within the rumenal lumen. These ultrasonographic findings of foreign material were similar to those previously recorded by Mohammadi et al, 2011 [ 13 ], Gomaa and Abdelaal, 2015 [ 8 ], and Hiremath et al, 2017 [ 9 ]. The occurrence of these foreign materials may be explained by the significant decreases in the serum concentration of sodium, chloride, and potassium as well as minor elements such as cobalt, iron, and selenium.…”

“…Apart from the limitation due to operator-dependence, the high-resolution US is a safe, inexpensive, nonionizing, portable and easily available imaging method for the diagnosis of FBs [15]. The performance and imaging quality of US are highly affected by the characteristics and the structure of the probe.…”

“…Thus, direct radiographs should be obtained first, and then reverberation, comet-tail artifacts, or posterior acoustic shadows should be sought by US. Although foreign bodies are generally hyperechogenic, a hypoechoic halo can be observed around the foreign body due to granulomatous reaction in chronic cases [13,14]. In addition to US, direct radiographs were obtained for trauma regions in all of the penetrating traumas, and CT examination was performed in some of them in order to investigate the presence of any foreign body in the wound in our study.…”
