Unusual Needle Migration into the Heart of a Pediatric Patient

Sharp-object penetration into the chest is rare and may lead to life-threatening complications, hence the significance of early detection and removal. we present an uncommon case of the accidental penetration of a sewing needle into the chest of a 5-year-old girl, with the needle traveling from the entrance site to the right ventricle through the lung tissue. due to the possibility of cardiovascular accidents, the patient was transferred to a special ward. for positioning and correct actions, tte and ct scan of the chest with and without contrast were performed and the presence of a tangential needle with the right ventricular wall and inside the pericardium was reported. the patient was taken to the operating room, and after exploring, a 2 cm needle was inserted into the right ventricle and removed. the patient was discharged after 5 days.
