Background: Magnetic earrings are becoming a popular item for both adults and children. In recent years, there have been case reports describing how two magnetic rings become affixed to the nasal septum.
Discussion: We report the use of two cardiac pacemaker magnets and two micro polypus forceps to remove the magnetic rings via induced magnetism.
Conclusions: The use of magnetized instruments demonstrates a safe and effective way to remove impacted magnetic foreign bodies from the nose.
