Abstract

Foreign body ingestion and inhalation is a very common problem in children while nasopharyngeal foreign body aspiration in children is rare but can present; therefore, timely diagnosis of the nasopharyngeal foreign body is crucial and vital for the patient. Authors present a rare case of nasopharyngeal foreign body (detached beverage can stay-tab) in 1-year-old male child. Authors suggest that although nasopharyngeal foreign body aspiration is a rare entity, but should be considered as a crucial diagnosis in pediatric patients with history of foreign body aspiration.
