[Imaging of a foreign body in the submandibular space].
Foreign bodies in the oral cavity are infrequent in children. In spite of a negative clinical exploration, US and CT showed the suction cup of a rubber-tipped dart in the left submandibular space of a 3 year-old child. Surgery could be guided by these investigations.
