Abstract External Acoustic Canal (EAC) Foreign Bodies(FBs) are a common unwanted occurrence which if present could cause harm without proper intervention. Panoramic radiographs showing entire maxillomandibular region could be useful for the diagnosis of the same. A 12 year old patient came to the oral radiology OPD for the purpose of taking panoramic radiograph as advised by his endodontist. On the preliminary examination of the radiograph a well defined radiopacity was noted in the right EAC and it was confirmed by a subsequent double TMJ view. Patient was then referred to ENT department and the foreign body was removed. Proper and careful evaluation of dental radiographs particularly panoramic view may help in the diagnosis and early intervention of hidden conditions which may cause severe complications if left untreated.
