We report a case of a needlefish jaws retained near the C5-C6 joint that was associated with chronic pain and inflammation and seen confirmed by FDG-PET scan. Two unsuccessful surgeries using an anterior approach were complicated by vascular and nerve injuries. We used image-guided surgery with a posterior approach.
