A 19-year-old deaf mute female presented to our department with persistent left ear discharge and a reddish mass in the ear. After surgery, the cause was identified as a neglected foreign body. Tympanic membrane was intact.Conclusion. Aural polyp that is resistant to medical treatment should raise the suspicion of an inflammatory polyp with underlying chronic suppurative otitis media or foreign body. Rarer neoplastic and immunological causes should also be considered.

Self-inflicted foreign bodies in the male urethra and urinary bladder are an emergency that urologists may rarely have to face. A case of an electrical wire inserted in the male urethra and coiled in the bladder is presented here. A 33-year-old male presented with the inability to void and bloody urethral discharge after having introduced a long electrical wire in his urethra for masturbation 6 hours earlier. He had made several unsuccessful attempts to remove it. We know that variety of these objects may be impressive and removal of the foreign body may be quite challenging requiring imagination and high-level surgical skills. In this case an electrical wire was used and the diagnostic as well as the therapeutic steps for its removal are presented here. Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 14, No. 2, July 2011 p.62-64

AbstractObjectives:We report a unique case of traumatic tympanic membrane perforation caused by a needlefish beak. We describe the mechanism of injury, the clinical findings and the treatment.Case report:An 11-year-old boy presented with otorrhoea and hearing loss secondary to a traumatic tympanic membrane perforation by a needlefish. The perforation was repaired by performing a myringoplasty, with satisfactory post-operative audiological results.Conclusion:To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of its kind. It is recommended that careful examination of the middle-ear space should always be carried out prior to and during myringoplasty if there is a possibility of a foreign body.
