A Sinusite crônica em seio maxilar decorrente de corpo estranho pode ser provocada pela presença de dentes, raízes dentárias ou materiais odontológicos, e ocasiona um processo inflamatório e infecção sinusal. O diagnóstico é facilmente obtido através dos achados clínicos e imaginológicos, porém, por desconhecimento e falhas na prevenção da inserção de corpos estranhos no seio maxilar, diversos profissionais de saúde não elucidam precocemente esta enfermidade. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo descrever o caso clínico de uma paciente portadora de sinusite crônica, sem melhoras com tratamento medicamentoso que após avaliação radiográfica, foi possível identificar estrutura metálica em seio maxilar e sugeriu-se o diagnóstico de sinusite crônica decorrente de corpo estranho. Foi instituído tratamento medicamentoso e remoção cirúrgica associada à sinusectomia.
