“…The literature reports a handful of cases describing approaches to remove a circumferential foreign body entrapping the tongue. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] One other case reports a similar foreign body; however, lid extraction was achieved with a more conservative approach using topical anaesthetic, and lubricant injected between the lid and tongue with a 20 G cannula. 1 Four cases presenting to the emergency department involved metal foreign bodies, [2][3][4][5] including an aluminium juice can and a soft-drink can, which were removed with medic shears 2 and a dental drill, 3 respectively.…”

Shah et al 4 reported the removal of an aluminium drink can using light sedation and topical anaesthetic; wire cutters and scissors were used with the addition of heavy orthopaedic pin cutters for removal of the reinforced rim.…”

Background The increased popularity of reusable drinking bottles may have safety implications when used by children. This paper discusses the lessons learnt from managing two cases of children presenting to our ENT department who required surgical intervention for complications arising from their use. Case report This paper presents a case series of two five-year-old children who attended the emergency department with circumferential entrapment of their tongue within plastic drinking bottle lids of similar design. The unique anaesthetic and surgical challenges surrounding these cases are discussed. Conclusion These represent the only reported cases of circumferential entrapment of the tongue by a foreign body requiring general anaesthesia where orotracheal intubation was contraindicated. A creative general anaesthetic approach was taken using ketamine and Optiflow high-flow nasal oxygen therapy. A reproducible surgical technique using powered cutting instruments is also discussed.

ObjectiveTo report a case of oral tongue entrapment due to a metal water bottle and review clinical considerations for managing this rare pathology.Study DesignCase report and literature review.SettingTertiary care hospital.MethodsA 6‐year‐old female presented with her tongue trapped in a threaded aluminum water bottle. Upon admission, her tongue was edematous and actively bleeding, though she was spontaneously breathing. A systematic review was then performed to document similar case studies found in the literature.ResultsEmergency removal of the foreign body was performed in the operating room using drill cutting burrs and metal shears. The bottle was successfully removed with minimal injury to the oral tongue. The patient required nasal intubation for seven days to allow the tongue edema to subside. Subsequent literature review identified 14 similar cases, with the vast majority occurring with similar brand of aluminum water bottle.ConclusionThe increasing use of reusable bottles may lead to a higher incidence of tongue entrapment cases. Awareness of this complication and appropriate management strategies are crucial to prevent severe outcomes in pediatric patients.
