abstract="Locally, ingested foreign body is a problem commonly seen in the adult patients. Paediatric patients constituted about 6.5% of all cases of ingested foreign body. In adults and older children who are able to communicate, the management is usually straight forward. However, the diagnosis of ingested foreign body in a prelingual child may pose a problem as the child is unable to talk. A high index of suspicion is needed in the diagnosis of ingested foreign body. This article presents a case of undiagnosed ingested foreign body causing pharyngeal perforation with retropharyngeal abscess in a two year-old boy. The management of ingested foreign body in young children is discussed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
