ABSTRACT
Foreign bodies of upper aerodigestive tract in young children are frequently encountered by ENT specialists due to their peculiar habit of putting objects in their mouth. We report a case of foreign body nasopharynx that remained undiagnosed for a long time despite multiple visits to general and ENT OPD's with complaints of complete nasal obstruction and history of foreign body ingestion by a child. A radio-opaque foreign body of the nasopharynx was revealed on X-ray and removed per orally under general anaesthesia resulting in complete resolution of symptoms. The physician must have a high index of suspicion, particularly for persistent symptoms and necessitates further investigation before making diagnosis of a case of rhinosinusitis or empirically prescribing antibiotics
