An unusual nasopharyngeal foreign body in a very young child with no clinical symptoms is a rare case presentation.
A nine-month-old child presented with a suspected history of foreign body ingestion without any clue to the parents about the nature of the foreign body. X-ray of the nasopharynx revealed a sharp unusual metallic "Louis Vuitton" shoe logo that the child had accidentally inserted into the nasopharynx via the oral cavity while playing. Foreign body was removed under general anesthesia without complications.
X-ray nasopharynx should be included in the examination of a suspected case of foreign body ingestion, as an unusual shape of foreign body can even produce no clinical symptoms but still pose a potential life threat due to its dislodgement into the airway if missed or delayed.
在非常年幼且无临床症状的儿童中出现不寻常的鼻咽部异物是一种罕见的病例表现。
一名9个月大的儿童出现疑似异物摄入史，但父母对异物的性质毫无头绪。鼻咽部X线检查显示一个尖锐的、不寻常的金属“路易威登”鞋标，该儿童在玩耍时经口腔意外将其插入鼻咽部。在全身麻醉下取出异物，未出现并发症。
对于疑似异物摄入病例的检查应包括鼻咽部X线检查，因为异物形状异常即使不产生临床症状，但如果漏诊或延误，其因掉入气道仍可能构成潜在的生命威胁。
