Özet:

 Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the demographic characteristics, foreign body FB types, treatment approaches and complications of pediatric patients with FB detected in the external ear canal. Methods: The files of pediatric patients who were found to have FBs in the external auditory canal by ENT specialists between December 2020 and February 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The age, gender, type of FBs, treatment methods and complications of the patients were recorded. Results: A total of 108 patients 66 male 61.1 and 42 female 38.9 patients with FB detected in the external ear canal were included in the study. The patients ages ranged from 1 to 17 years and the median age was 5.0 4.0 years. FBs were detected in the right ear in 64 59.3 patients, in the left ear in 41 38.0 patients, and in both ears in 3 2.8 patients. The most common FBs were beads 31.5, insects 9.3, pencil tips 8.3 and cotton 8.3. Complications were observed in 9.3 of the cases. FBs were removed under outpatient conditions in 100 92.6 patients, while they were removed under general anesthesia in 8 7.4 patients. Conclusion: FBs in the external ear canal were frequently seen in children aged 5 years and younger. Most of the FBs consisted of inorganic materials such as beads. In order to avoid complications, especially in the presence of a round and hard FB that cannot be removed with simple applications, consultation from an ENT specialist should be requested.

 Amaç: Bu çalışmada dış kulak yolunda yabancı cisim YC saptanan hastaların demografik özellikleri, YC tipleri, tedavi yaklaşımları ve komplikasyonların araştırılması amaçlandı. Yöntemler: Aralık 2020 ve Şubat 2022 tarihleri arasında KBB uzmanları tarafından dış kulak yolunda YC saptanan çocuk hastaların dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, YClerin türü, tedavi yöntemleri ve komplikasyonlar kaydedildi. Bulgular: Dış kulak yolunda YC saptanan 66sı erkek  61,1, 42si kız  38,9 108 hasta çalışmaya alındı. Hastaların yaşları 1 - 17 yıl arasında ve medyan yaşı 5.0 4.0 yıl idi. Altmış dört  59.3 hastada sağ kulakta, 41  38.0 hastada sol kulakta, 3  2.8 hastada her iki kulakta YC saptandı. YClerin en sık görülenleri boncuk  31.5, böcek  9.3, kalem ucu 8.3 ve pamuk  8.3 idi. Olguların  9.3ünde komplikasyon gözlendi. YCler, 100  92.6 hastada poliklinik şartlarında çıkarılırken 8 7.4 hastada genel anestezi altında çıkarıldı. Sonuç: Dış kulak yolunda YCleri sıklıkla 5 yaş ve altı çocuklarda görüldü. YClerin çoğunluğunu boncuk gibi inorganik maddeler oluşturmaktaydı. Basit uygulamalarla çıkarılamayan özellikle yuvarlak ve sert YC varlığında komplikasyonlardan kaçınmak için KBB uzmanından konsültasyon istenmelidir.
