Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Aural foreign bodies (FB) are a frequent pediatric concern.
  • Self-inflicted injuries are the primary cause in young children.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the characteristics and management of pediatric aural foreign bodies.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of different removal techniques and anesthetic choices.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 168 pediatric cases with aural foreign bodies at KGMC Lucknow.
  • Analysis of patient demographics, FB type, impaction site, and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Most FBs occurred in children under 5 years (69.64%) and within 24 hours (91.66%).
  • External auditory canal (EAC) was the most common impaction site (86.30%).

  • Non-vegetative inanimate FBs predominated (43.45%); TM perforation was rare (6.54%).

    • Conclusions:

    • Prompt and appropriate management of pediatric ear foreign bodies is essential.
    • Specific techniques like syringing, forceps, or surgical intervention are indicated based on FB characteristics.
    • Dissociative anesthesia (ketamine) may be preferable to general anesthesia.
