Abstract
Abstract BACKGROUND. Foreign bodies of paranasal sinuses are very rare in ENT clinical practice. CASE REPORT. We will discuss the case of a 38-year-old gentleman who showed up at our Emergency Room with loss of vision in his left eye following a blast injury. The initial physical examination identified a ruptured globe in the left eye, which caused left-eye blindness. An immediate plain X-ray revealed a metallic object lodged in the left maxillary sinus, reaching up to the left sphenoid sinus. The external approach was used to manage the patient surgically, with no intra- or postoperative complications. CONCLUSION. Inadequate managing of foreign bodies in the paranasal sinuses might result in significant morbidity. They must be removed surgically, either endoscopically or via an external method.
