Abstract
As an otolaryngologist, one may face challenges in diagnosis and removal of foreign bodies from the airway. At times, there are anxious moments and pleasant surprises by relieving the patient of its symptoms and avoiding disastrous outcomes. A metallic foreign body after being inhaled and ultimately being lodged in the nasopharynx is a rare entity. We report a case of nasopharyngeal foreign body with presenting symptoms of acute otitis media and change in voice in a 4-years male child. The foreign body was diagnosed by flexible nasopharyngoscope and documented by X-ray skull lateral view including nasopharynx and the same was removed under general anaesthesia while keeping the child in Rose's position.
