Foreign body in the nasopharynx is an extremely rare conidition; however a big metallic nut in the masopharynx of an infant of eight- months has not been previously reported in literature. We report an unusual case where an eight-month-old child introduced a big metallic nut through the mouth and was lodged in the nasopharynx, with a brief review of literature regarding the diagnosis and management of such case.
