description Grill brushes are ubiquitous tools used at backyard barbeques every summer. However, thin wire bristles can dislodge, become embedded within food, and inadvertently ingested. Here, we present a case report describing the computed tomography scan localization of a stray ingested wire bristle and the use of intraoperative fluoroscopy with 14-gauge needles to triangulate the exact location of this thin object.
