Dear Sir, A case of unexpected foreign body nasal cavity is being presented. An 8 year old child presented with history of recurrent attacks of rhinosinusitis and otitis media. He was diagnosed as adenoid hypertrophy which was confirmed by an X-ray of the soft tissue nasopharynx. Under general anesthesia with oro-tracheal intubation, adenoidectomy was done using adenoid curette. After adenoidectomy we could not pass the suction catheter into the naso-pharnx in the right side. A rigid nasal endoscopy using pediatric 2.7 mm endoscope was done. A foreign body was seen impacted in the right inferior meatus surrounded by granulations and deposition of salts and it was removed. (Figure 1).
