title: A useful form of glue ear.
abstract: Children and adults commonly present to the emergency department with a foreign body lodged in the ear. Over the past 15 years techniques for cyanoacrylate ("superglue") assisted foreign body removal have been described, but are not widely employed. Two cases of successful and one of unsuccessful removal using this technique are reported, and some advice is offered to aid others.
