These objects are often easily identified and removed. This report documents an unusual case of a bank note lodged in the nasal cavity of an adult male. The foreign body in question presented a significant diagnostic challenge both from a clinical and radiological perspective. Careful review of the case history, as well as clinical and radiographic features, led to appropriate management and avoidance of unnecessary interventions. Clinicians involved in head and neck surgery and radiology should suspect, and be aware of the radiographic appearance, of a wide variety of foreign bodies.en© 2020 The British Association of Oral Surgeons and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
