Ear and nose foreign bodies are common problems affecting the children but adults are not an exception. A prospective study involving 87 patients is undertaken concentrating on presentation of patients with various types of ear or nasal foreign bodies. In the present study common presenting complaints and uncommon presentation scenarios encountered by us like a nasal foreign body with intra cranial complications, an impacted middle ear foreign body with mastoiditis is discussed. The present article emphasizes the need of considering presence of foreign bodies even in the absence of appropriate clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of a foreign body in ear or nose.

Delayed Sensory Exotropia With Retained Metallic Intraorbital Foreign Body.
J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus
January 2025
This report describes the longest case of a retained metallic intraorbital foreign body with no complications and development of delayed sensory exotropia following traumatic sclopetaria in childhood. A 9-year-old girl suffered a BB gun injury to the left eye, leading to chorioretinitis sclopetaria and loss of vision. The visual acuity was 20/800 with a relative afferent pupillary defect and choroidal rupture with subretinal hemorrhage that evolved to sclopetaria over time.

The magnetic fields of the MR environment present unique safety challenges. Medical implants and retained foreign bodies can prevent patients from undergoing MR imaging due to interactions between the magnetic fields of the MR environment and the implant or foreign body. These hazards can be addressed through careful MR safety screening and MR examination customization, often allowing these patients with implants to undergo management-altering MR imaging.
