Abstract EN

Foreign body ingestion has been a dilemma to many physicians including Otolaryngologist.

Naturally, patient turns up at the out-patient department first prior to being referred to the otolaryngologist, which may lead to possibility of missed or neglected foreign body.

We report a case of a missed foreign body which turned out to be his one-month dislodged denture.

The unfortunate patient visited several different clinics within this one-month period, however he was dismissed as the lateral soft tissue neck radiograph done showed no abnormality.
