Two nasal foreign bodies were discovered by a dental practitioner on a routine radiographic examination of a 15-year-old autistic patient. Going over past radiographs, one of the nasal foreign bodies was detected in a radiograph performed 2 years previously. No nasal complaints or other clues to the problem were apparent. The patient was referred to the emergency room, and the foreign bodies were removed by an Ear Nose and Throat specialist, under general anesthesia. This paper reviews the diagnosis and treatment of nasal foreign bodies, and highlights the important role of the dental practitioner in the proper detection and diagnosis, prompt referral for management, and reduction in related complications.
一位牙科医生在对一名 15 岁自闭症患者进行常规放射检查时发现了两个鼻腔异物。翻阅过去的 X 光片，发现其中一个鼻腔异物是在 2 年前拍摄的。患者没有出现任何鼻部不适或其他问题的迹象。患者被转介到急诊室，耳鼻喉科专家在全身麻醉下将异物取出。本文回顾了鼻腔异物的诊断和治疗，并强调了牙科医生在正确检测和诊断、及时转介治疗以及减少相关并发症方面的重要作用。
