title: [Foreign body in the pharynx incidentally found].
abstract: Diagnosis and therapeutic of foreign bodies of the oropharynx are not difficult in general. The diagnosis is usually obvious for the adult. We report a case of foreign body of the oropharynx observed in a patient, psychologically stable, which occurred two months after a traumatism. The patient was not aware of the existence of the foreign body. It was extracted two months after the accident by endo-oral track under general anaesthesia. The nature of the foreign body, the fortuity of its discovery and its presence for a long time reported here are of interest.
