ABSTRACT

There are many reported cases about foreign bodies in upper aerodigestive tracts children, but not common about the nasopharynx. It is well known that the most of the foreign bodies in food passages are lodged at the first narrowing of the esophagus and this can be a cause of overlooking the foreign bodies in the nasopharynx. The authors experienced recently a case of foreign body, a coin, lodged in the nasopharynx of a 6-month-old male baby and emphasized that diagnostic radiological examination must be included the nasopharynx when suspected foreign bodies, expecially in children 20 that it could not be overlooked.
