This report describes an unusual nasal foreign body in a 4-year-old boy discovered incidentally in a routine dental radiograph. A small piece of rubber eraser was lodged in the right nasal cavity, causing unilateral nasal obstruction and discharge, sneezing, snoring and breathing difficulty. In this case, discovery of unknown intranasal object was diagnostic for a condition suspected of pathological origin. Dentists may play a significant role in the diagnosis of intranasal foreign objects in children, through careful clinical examination and interpretation of dental radiographs. Early diagnosis is emphasized in order to avoid complications.
本报告描述了一名4岁男孩在常规牙科X光检查中偶然发现的异常鼻腔异物。一小片橡皮擦滞留在右鼻腔，导致单侧鼻塞、流涕、打喷嚏、打鼾和呼吸困难。在这种情况下，发现鼻腔内不明物体可诊断为疑似病理性起源的病症。牙医通过仔细的临床检查和牙科X光片解读，在儿童鼻腔异物的诊断中可能发挥重要作用。强调早期诊断以避免并发症。
