Abstract

A 23-year-old male was sustained a small neck puncture while hammering blocks of iron. An iron splinter was identified on preoperative X-ray examination and CT scan. During surgery, the iron splinter could not be identified macroscopically. In this case, we used intraoperative fluoroscopic guidance to locate and remove the iron fragment.
