Foreign body in nasopharynx – case report
Journal Title: Polski Przegląd Otorynolaryngologiczny - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Patients with foreign bodies in various locations often present to ENT emergency units. In the oropharynx, fishbone is the most common foreign body. In most cases, the foreign body cannot be found despite pain reported by the patient. The pain is due to injury to the oral mucosa and foreign body transition towards the gastrointestinal tract. If the foreign body is localized in an unusual location, diagnosis can be delayed. In such situations, diagnostic workup should be extended, which may include surgery.
