This case emphasises the need for careful instrument handling and prompt intervention.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Patient Concerns:<\/jats:title>\n A 5-year-old child aspirated a broken irrigation needle during a dental procedure. The parents were highly concerned, though the child had no immediate respiratory distress. Imaging confirmed the needle lodged in the hypopharynx.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Diagnosis:<\/jats:title>\n The primary diagnosis was an aspirated dental needle.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Treatment and Outcome:<\/jats:title>\n Due to airway obstruction risk, the needle was urgently removed under general anaesthesia. The procedure was uneventful, and follow-up for two weeks showed no complications.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Take-away Lessons:<\/jats:title>\n This case highlights the importance of preventing
