【 摘 要 】

Upper airways and the upper digestive tract may harbor foreign bodies such as sponges, grains, toy parts, stones, paper, insects, cotton, etc1-4. These objects may go undetected for week or even years. Foreign bodies in the nasopharynx are rare, with few citations in literature; they deserve to be highlighted owing to diagnostic difficulties and delays.
