Objectives: To analyze the data of patients with otorhinolaryngological foreign bodies and to evaluate the management and outcomes of foreign bodies to prevent complications. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted over 8 years at Aseer Central Hospital to examine all admitted cases with foreign bodies in the ear, nose, throat, esophagus and bronchus during the period from January 2011 to January 2019. Patient demographic data, type of foreign body, and most common site were analyzed. Results: A total of 184 patients were admitted, including 72)39.1%(males and 112)60.9%(females. The age range was from one year old to 70 years old; the mean±standard deviation of age was 10.6±12.55 years. Foreign bodies were most commonly located Original Article in the esophagus)n=97, 52.7%(, followed by the bronchus)n=55, 29.9%(. A statistically significant difference was found, with a p-value of 0.00001. The most common site in children was the bronchus)n=39, 21%(; the most common site in adults was the esophagus)n=18, 72%(. Conclusion: Otorhinolaryngological foreign bodies are found most frequently in preschool-aged children.

Background: Foreign bodies (FB) in the ears, nose or throat are a common occurrence in otorhinolaryngology (ENT) emergency services. The management calls for prompt & precise intervention which in turn decreases the overall morbidity and mortality. The aim of the study was to study the age & gender distribution, modes of presentation, management & complications of various foreign bodies in patients attending emergency & ENT OPD.Methods: It is a prospective, interventional clinical study conducted in a tertiary Care Hospital – Shri Vasantrao Naik government medical college situated in tribal region of Yavatmal, Maharashtra. About 200 patients from the tribal population with foreign body in ear, nose & throat region from November 2012 to October 2014 were included in the study. Results: Out of 200 patients, the commonest location of FB was in ear with 103 patients (51.5%) followed by nose with 72 patients (36%) and throat 25 patients (12.5%). 203 FB were removed from 200 patients. Throat cases include digestive tract (21 cases) and tracheobronchial (4 cases) FB. Amongst the FB in throat the commonest was fish bone and the commonest site being cricopharynx. Seeds were the commonest FB in ear & nose. A greater proportion of cases - 109 (54.5%) were below 10 years of age.Conclusions: A great degree of suspicion, prompt diagnosis and timely intervention can reduce the overall mortality and morbidity associated with ear, nose and throat foreign bodies.

“…Oesophageal foreign bodies are common in the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) practice, and their occurrence is higher in children than adult [1][2][3][4]. The reasons for foreign body ingestion in children have been attributed to curiosity, imitation, boredom, irritation, fun making and the wish to explore the orifices of the body [1][2][3][4]. Comparatively, in adults, foreign body ingestion could be accidental, and this is usually food related [1,3,5,6] and edentulous patients with denture [7].…”
