Foreign Bodies in Ear Nose and Throat: A Retrospective Study

Dr. Ellora Das | Dr. K. K. Bora

Abstract: Ear, nose and throat (ENT) foreign bodies (FBs) are common occurrences, particularly among children. The proper recognition, study, and management of FBs are required to prevent complications. Their consequences are greatly variable, from mild disturbances that may not require hospitalization up to life threatening complications. In this study, we share our experience in dealing with hundred cases of various types of ENT foreign bodies in the age-groups of 1-60 years. We also analyse the clinical profile of these hundred cases of ENT FBs and share our experience of removal of these foreign bodies.
