Nasopharynx is an exceptionally rare anatomical location for foreign body impactation . As an otorhinolaryngologist, one may face challenges in diagnosis and removal of foreign body from airways . 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(NFB) in a 1½ year old male child. The foreign body was diagnosed by diagnostic nasal endoscopy and documented by X-Ray of nasopharynx - lateral view [FIG.-2] and the same was removed under general anaesthesia. While keeping the child in Rose's position.
