Unusual Foreign Bodies of the Nasal Cavity: A Series of Four Cases

Foreign bodies of the nose in adults are a rare entity and seldom encountered, although they are frequently encountered among children and mentally challenged patients. Here we present 4 unusual cases of foreign body nose, 3 adults and an eight year old child who all predominantly presented with nasal symptoms and finally turned out to have foreign body lodged in their nasal cavity. An ectopic tooth in the nasal cavity of first adult, two dead honey bee in the nasal cavity of second adult. Iatrogenic foreign body (a chunk of the original Merocel nasal pack) in the third adult and the eight year old child was found to harbour live leech which was eventually extracted.
