abstract="BACK GROUND: An impalement-related injury to the oral cavity is common in pediatric patients at emergency department. A computed tomography evaluation is not always suitable in these cases. Herein, we aimed to present oral sonography findings from six pediatric patients presenting with impalement-related injury to the oral cavity.   CASE SERIES: All included patients were younger than 4 years and sustained injuries with a toothbrush, chopstick, water gun, and fork to the tonsils, submandibular gland area, uvula, and under the tongue. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Ultrasound imaging appeared useful in helping diagnose impalement-related injuries lateral to the midline.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
