Cases of foreign bodies in the antrum and nasal cavity are reported in the literature but the size and location of foreign body in this case made it unique and challenging. A large exploded fragment was successfully removed through Lefort I osteotomy approach. Foreign bodies in maxilla and antrum can be removed by different approaches: Caldwell-Luc operation, nasal and antral endoscopic surgery. The foreign body was lying horizontally in posterior maxilla occupying both the maxillary sinuses and nasal cavity. The foreign body was so big in size that the nasal endoscopic approach and Caldwell-Luc operation might be inadequate for its retrieval.

“…Because foreign bodies can cause irritation of the mucosa that can be result in sinusitis [4], the removal of all foreign bodies is generally recommended, even when they do not produce symptoms [14]. In rare cases, the foreign body may extrude spontaneously [12] [15], but in general, the decision of whether to remove an intraorbital foreign body has to be made by the co-managing team.…”

Background: Intraorbital foreign bodies can result in various complications if not appropriately managed. Aim: To report a case of lower lid entropion secondary to a missed intraorbital foreign body. Case Presentation: A 7-year-old boy presented with inward turning of the left lower lid for three days prior to admission. A week before, the child was in the garden when part of the roof of their home suddenly broke off, with pieces of the debris falling near him. He complained of left eye irritation, but a visit to a general practitioner found no eye abnormalities. Three days after that, the mother sought an ophthalmology opinion as she noticed inversion of the left lower lid. On examination, visual acuity in both eyes was 6/6. There was left lower lid entropion, and a deeply embedded foreign body seen in the lower lid. No other eye abnormalities noted. Computed tomography scan of the orbits revealed a welldefined foreign object in the lower orbit, fracturing the antero-superior wall of the left maxillary sinus. The left eye foreign body was removed uneventfully via a transconjunctival approach. Conclusion: A thorough examination is mandatory in any case of ocular trauma especially in young children, who are usually unable to provide a clear history of the injury.
