AbstractWe report the case of a 9-year-old male who developed nasal ulcerations from magnets which were placed in his nose, and became attracted to each other across the nasal septum. The magnets came from a non-penetrating earring. Normally harmless, but when attracted to each other magnets can cause ulcerations and possibly perforation of the nasal septum and should be removed urgently whenever encountered.
