Abstract

IntoductIon: The presenting complaint of a foreign body in the ear is quite common at an otolaryngologist’sclinic or emergency room. It is mainly the paediatric population which presents with such history which is attributed to their tendency to play and explore their surroundings. None the less the challenge arises in correctly diagnosing the foreign body, and the site of the ear it has occupied and if or not its is impacted, all of which needs detailed examination and investigations. Many a times cases are referred after multiple attempts of removal with secondary complications. We must always bear in mind that the ear is a sense organ and one cannot tamper with it. In this manner we present a series of assorted cases of ear foreign bodies that we have come across at our tertiary care centre and their management.
