AbstractAn unusual case of a retained airgun pellet in the ethmoid sinus is presented. The patient's only complaint was a severe neuralgic headache. Anatomical basis for this symptom, imaging and successful endoscopic removal of the foreign body are discussed. The philosophy for removal of innocuous foreign bodies, potential pitfalls in surgical management, and a review of the literature are included in the discussion.

Ingestion of foreign body occurs commonly in the paediatric age group particularly between 6 months and 5 years of age.1 Most ingested foreign objects pass smoothly through the oesophagus, into the stomach and are expelled from the body without complications. However, 10% –20% will require endoscopic removal to avoid complications. We present the endoscopic removal of a peg pin in the duodenum of a four-year-old child.

Background: Patients with foreign bodies in upper digestive tract not infrequently trigger many diagnostic and treatment challenges, especially when foreign bodies translocate and are lodged outside the esophagus. Case report: We present a case of a foreign body in esophagus 56-years old woman who had developed persistent sensation of an obstacle in her throat after eating fish (Atlantic cod). She has initially dismissed her symptoms and refused medical treatment. Subsequently, a neck CT done one week later showed a 20-milimeter long fish bone in the soft tissues on the left side of her neck (between pharynx and vertebral column). Few attempts of endoscopic removal were unsuccessful. Despite antibiotic prophylaxis and due to the fish bone translocation into soft tissues of the neck and its location close to a common carotid artery and an internal jugular vein a decision was made to remove it from the external approach. The foreign body was successfully removed without any esophageal damages. Conclusions: Foreign bodies in digestive tract may result in many life-threatening complications. The fundamental management is based on the endoscopic removal of a foreign body and the antibiotic prophylaxis. In case of foreign bodies lodged in soft tissues open surgery is recommended. Key words: foreign body in the esophagus; fish bone; paraesophageal abscess ; treatment

This is a case report of foreign body ingestion in a 55-year-old intellectually disabled man with a history of pica and previous removal of ten plastic gloves from his rectum four months prior to this presentation. The patient presented after ingesting plastic gloves which formed large, rigid esophageal and gastric bezoars that were not amenable to endoscopic removal. An exploratory laparotomy and gastrostomy was performed, and a 10 × 4.5 × 2 cm gastric bezoar consisting of rigid plastic gloves was removed without complication. Special considerations must be taken when considering the ingestion of nonfood items in the intellectually disabled population as these cases may not present classically with symptoms of a gastric bezoar.

Introduction Rhinolith is a calcic deposition formed by mineralization of salts in an impacted nasal foreign body. It is a benign condition that can be troublesome owing to its size and extent of impact. Case Report A 35-year-old man with a history of right nasal obstruction with occasional foul-smelling discharge and right eye pain since ten years was diagnosed with rhinolith. During its removal, it was three times bigger than what could be visualized in nasal endoscopy. Conclusion Proper history, examination, and a high suspicion can clinch the diagnosis in almost all cases. A rigid diagnostic nasendoscopy is an important tool in the diagnosis. The treatment of choice is endoscopic removal under local or general anaesthesia.
