Abstract

A 24 year-old severely retarded, hyperactive woman with a long history of foul smelling discharge from the nasal fossae, requiring removal under general anesthesia of foreign material (rocks, crayon, cotton, paper) on 9 separate occasions by an ENT surgeon, is reported from my own practice records in Chicago.
