Oropharyngeal foreign body

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  08 March 2006

Abstract

An unusual extremely benign course of an 8 cm long, rusting, metallic oropharyngeal foreign body that had entered post-aurally (penetration injury) four years previously to lie completely within the pharyngeal lumen has not yet been reported in the world literature. The need for additional investigations and special precautions to be taken during surgical extraction are highlighted.
