A five-year-old male presented to the emergency department (ED) after falling off a stool while brushing his teeth, resulting in a penetrating oropharyngeal injury. The toothbrush was impaled deeply into the left lateral soft palate with only the handle of the toothbrush visible protruding from the mouth. The patient was hemodynamically stable and was comfortable in the arms of his mother after a single dose of fentanyl. A computed tomography angiography (CTA) with three-dimensional reconstructions was performed without sedation, which showed the tip of the toothbrush terminating adjacent to the alveolar and pterygoid branches of the external carotid artery. ; Version of Record
