title: Nasal foreign body presenting as unilateral headache.
abstract: We report a 6 year old female child, who presented with history of right sided recurrent headache for four months. On diagnostic nasal endoscopy, a metallic foreign body was seen impacted between superior turbinate, middle turbinate and nasal septum which was removed using pediatric nasal endoscope. Following removal, the symptom of unilateral headache subsided. Possibility of a foreign body should always be ruled out while evaluating a child with recurrent, unilateral headache.
