Clinical otolaryngologists frequently encounter nasal foreign bodies (FBs) particularly among children. The removal of nasal FBs is a common otolaryngological practice. However, occasionally trauma results from FBs being lodged in the nasal cavity especially through the nasolacrimal duct. In this article we present an unusual case of a FB that from the left medial canthus went inside the nasolacrimal duct, then through the inferior turbinate and stuck in the floor of the nose. We describe the transnasal endoscopic approach used and we recommend that the treatment be done as soon as possible to avoid complications.
临床耳鼻喉科医生经常遇到鼻腔异物，尤其是在儿童中。取出鼻腔异物是一种常见的耳鼻喉科操作。然而，鼻腔异物偶尔会导致创伤，特别是通过鼻泪管进入鼻腔时。在本文中，我们介绍了一个不寻常的病例，一个异物从左内眦进入鼻泪管，然后穿过下鼻甲并卡在鼻底。我们描述了所采用的经鼻内镜方法，并建议尽快进行治疗以避免并发症。
