Reflective Foreign Bodies Mimicking Fistulae of the Hard Palate in the Paediatric Population.

Palatal foreign bodies remain relatively rare, consequently, delays in diagnosis and misdiagnosis can occur leading to unnecessary anxiety and invasive investigations. We report three children with a reflective disc from inside a confetti balloon masquerading as a fistula of the hard palate. Awareness of this foreign body phenomenon enabled timely diagnosis in subsequent patients; hence the need to highlight such cases to the global cleft community.
