Abstract

Foreign bodies in ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) often cause emergencies following their appearance, their location and can be life-threatening. The aim of this work was to study the epidemiological and clinical profile of foreign bodies in ENT in a peripheral health center of Bamako. This was a cross-sectional study carried out in the ENT department of the Reference Health Center of Commune V of Bamako from January 2018 to December 2018. In our current study, the frequency of foreign bodies in ENT was 1.47% (68 cases) detected from 4630 medical consultations. The male / female ratio was 1.12, ie 36 men and 32 women. The 0 to 5 age group represented 42.6%. The average age was 15 years with extremes of 10 months and 76 years. We identified 58.9% of foreign bodies from ear, 32.4% from the nasal cavity; those of the bronchi, esophagus and pharynx each accounted for 2.9%. Cotton represented 19.1%, pebbles and food foreign bodies (13.2% each); and a button cell battery case. Foreign bodies are most often seen in children in ENT. Their natures are diverse. It can be an emergency. Complications can be fatal. Prevention intervention must be taken. The adequacy of the technical platform taking care that important ENT aspect is essential.
