Traumatic lesions due to foreign bodies in buccal cavity and pharynx are very common in bovines. Most of the foreign bodies are usually swallowed but some-times the sharp pointed ones migrate to the intermandibular or pharyngeal regions resulting in abscessation. Resultant abscesses usually produce anorexia and sometimes difficulty in swallowing. Presence of abscesses in these regions are usually suspected to be actinobacillosis.
Such unusual migration had not been very frequently reported. The present paper deals with two clinical cases of swellings at the intermandibular pharyngeal regions due to foreign body.
