Abstract
A case of a rare nasopharyngeal foreign body is described. A 67-year-old female with sequela associated with a cerebral infarction presented with right nasal obstruction. Nasopharyngeal fiberoscopy from the left nasal cavity demonstrated that sea tangle had somehow been inserted into the right side of the nasopharynx. The foreign body was removed from the oral cavity under general anesthesia via oral intubation. The foreign body was confirmed as a piece of sea tangle measuring 7×3.2 cm.
