摘要：

We report a case of a cannulated nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) in a patient having a neurological deficit, absent gag reflex, and no clinically obvious signs of respiratory distress. The patient had two episodes of vomiting before admission and was admitted with the initial working diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia; however, a preliminary chest X-ray (CXR) revealed an NPA, sitting vertically in the airway. It is our emphasis that thorough clinical history and radiological imaging are of paramount importance in prompt management of such airway complications.
