Coin in nasopharynx in a young child.
A 5 years old child presented with typical picture of adenoid hypertrophy but surprisingly plain radiograph of lateral view of neck showed a radio opaque object in the line of nasopharynx. During examination under anesthesia, a coin was seen impacted in nasopharynx partially covered with granulation tissue which was retrieved.
