Hard Palate Foreign Body in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report
1Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Security Forces Hospital, Makkah, SAU.
Abstract:
Hard palate foreign bodies are rare and demonstrate a unique presentation involving minimal symptoms and irritation. Such foreign bodies can be difficult to remove due to variations in their shape and the anatomy of the palate. Here, we present the case of a four-year-old girl with a piece of metal embedded in her hard palate. The presentation was acute, and the foreign body was successfully removed. No complications were observed at the two-week follow-up. The patient was in good health and did not demonstrate deformities.
