Air passage X-ray in the first case revealed a dental needle in the hypopharynx at the level of the pyriform sinus (Figure 1); in the second case a piece of implant material was observed at the level of the epiglottis (Figure 2). Ethmoid forceps accompanied by a 70-degree endoscope were used in both cases, and the foreign bodies were extracted, from the posterior of the tonsillar pole in the 1st case (Figure 1) and from a left vallecula location in the 2nd case (Figure 2).
