“…Our second case of mastoiditis with post-auricular sinus secondary to a cotton wool foreign body dislodgement medial to the external ear canal polyp represents another rare complication of aural foreign body dislodgment. Indeed, there has only been a single reported case of mastoiditis secondary to a metal stud foreign body in a 10-year-old patient 6. Here, our patient has a background history of diabetes mellitus type 2 and the foreign body had probably been present for more than 6 weeks due to the bony erosion pattern.…”

Foreign bodies are commonly seen by the Ear, Nose and Throat emergency team with cotton wool being the most common aural foreign body seen in the adult population. Most complications secondary to aural foreign bodies described in the literature are minor and rarely require any surgical intervention. Here, we present two cases with impacted cotton wool as aural foreign bodies which resulted in suppurative labyrinthitis and osteomyelitis causing profound sensorineural hearing. These cases highlight the importance of considering aural foreign bodies in the differential diagnosis in those presenting with unilateral symptoms as significant complications, although rare, can occur, particularly in those with delayed diagnosis.

Foreign body in the ear including beads and seeds is not uncommon in children. Tick also has been a common aural foreign body especially in tropical climate countries. Although in older cooperative children it can be attempted in the clinic setting, most of paediatric aural foreign bodies require general anaesthesia. In addition, a general practitioner setting may impose additional limitations. The available instruments and experience maybe be different from a tertiary referral centre. We report a case of a 3-year-old child with left ear pain for 4 days associated with loud crying when the pinna was touched. It has been worsening until the cry became continuous. The mother was quite hesitated to bring the child to hospital because of the lockdown situation. She sought nearby general practitioner where the engorged tick was removed without any complication in that clinic alone. Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.19(0) 2020 p. S 82-S 84

Background: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between a foreign body in the nose of a child and the dominant hand, the educational level of the parents and the habits of the mother in cleaning the nose with tissues or tweezers etc. Objectives: There is a lack of evidence about the foreign body in the nose in children and association among dominant hand, parental behaviour and education level. Methods: A retrospective examination was made of the records of 136 patients (78 male, 58 female) diagnosed with a foreign body in the nose in the period January 2014 -January 2017. A record was made of age, gender, the type of foreign body, treatment and complications, etc. Patients with a psychosomatic disorder were excluded from the study. Results: The vast majority of the patients were children aged 2-5 years (N = 124, 91.17%). The most common foreign bodies were a bead, a part of a plastic toy, a button, a safety pin, paper and paper tissues. The foreign body was removed from the same side as the dominant hand in 116 (85.29%) cases. The incidence of nasal foreign body was found to be statistically significantly higher in those with a parental level of education of primary school (P < 0.026). Conclusions:There was a statistically significant relationship between the localisation of a nasal foreign body and the dominant hand, so the patient's relatives must be asked about the side of the dominant hand. Taking into consideration that complications are greatly reduced with clinical experience, it is recommended that intervention for a nasal foreign body is made by an ear, nose and throat specialist.
