AN UNUSUAL FOREIGN BODY IN THE NASAL CAVITY

HEMALATHA P

Abstract


The nasal foreign bodies are commonly seen up to the age of 12. This is a rare case of a 10 year old boy who had playfully introduced an almost straight sharp rigid iron wire of length 13cm in to his nose. The patient presented with the foreign body protruding outside his nose. Radiological investigations revealed that the foreign body had hooked around the posterior end of the bony septum which was           removed under endoscopic guidance.
