Abstract:
It is fairly common for a dental surgeon to come across patients with foreign bodies in the nasal cavity. In this paper we report an unusual case of a nose stud retainer clip being displaced into the nasal cavity by trauma, and its discovery on radiographs taken to assess dental injuries. We also present a review of the literature since 1982, and assess the possible sequelae to nasal foreign bodies.
