Suspected paediatric aerodigestive tract foreign body (FB) ingestion or aspiration is a commonly encountered emergency. Management may require a general anaesthetic for retrieval with bronchoscopy, laryngoscopy and oesophagoscopy, each dependent on the history and investigations of the case in question. We describe the case of a foreign body, which was missed in the nasopharynx for more than 3 years and also discuss how pressures on National Health Service (NHS) referral and follow-up patterns may have altered the time course of the eventual discovery.
疑似小儿气道消化道异物（FB）摄入或吸入是一种常见的紧急情况。处理可能需要全身麻醉，通过支气管镜检查、喉镜检查和食管镜检查取出异物，每种检查都取决于具体病例的病史和检查结果。我们描述了一例在鼻咽部遗漏了3年多的异物病例，并讨论了国民医疗服务体系（NHS）转诊和随访模式的压力可能如何改变最终发现异物的时间进程。
