Toy Propeller in Nasopharynx

Extraction Case

This “propeller” from a Kinder Surprise airplane was nearly swallowed. After some retching, was propelled upward, into a toddler’s nasopharynx (behind the soft palate).

Because of choking risks, Kinder Surprise eggs have been banned in the United States.[Ref:20]

Did You Know?!

Approximately 95% of deaths from choking occur in the home environment.[Ref:1]
