Foreign body ingestion is a well documented entity. Incarcerated oropharyngel foreign bodies are fre quently observed. Care should be taken for the symptoms like dysphagia and odynophagia, even if no positive history for foreign body ingestion is present. Two cases of incarcerated oropharyngeal foreign bodies are presented here who did not report with history of foreign body ingestion.
