Abstract

Foreign bodies in the nasopharyngeal area are rare. Cases of two infants while playing with siblings accidently put hair clip in the mouth which got pushed in the nasopharynx by digital manipulation by their mother are being presented. Diagnosis of both the patients was confirmed by radiological examination. Fortunately both the foreign bodies were retrieved without any complication. With the experience of two such cases we strongly recommend the need for awareness regarding avoidance of manipulation by parents/guardians of the oral/pharyngeal foreign bodies.
