Unusual Foreign Body – Thread in the Throat
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Foreign bodies are commonly found in Otorhinolaryngology practice. Typically, they can get stuck in the ear, nose or throat. It is well known that certain kinds of foreign body scenarios are common with certain objects and in certain age groups. It is also known that foreign bodies can occur following normal day to day activities. However, many unusual and unlikely objects can end up as foreign bodies in the ear nose and throat in unlikely situations. We report an unusual case of a thread that got hooked in the throat of a 3-year old girl and had to be removed under general anaesthesia.
