“…5 In the past, external procedures were carried out to do the removal, which brought too much damage to patients. 8 In this case, the patient chose not to remove the metal foreign body 20 years before because he was then afraid of the damage caused by the surgery.…”

“…In our case, the patient underwent urgent ophthalmologic treatment, and after 6 weeks, an endoscopic removal of the foreign body was performed. Sinoorbital gunshot injuries should be treated using conventional and endoscopic techniques (16,17,21). Nevertheless, according to Brinson, endoscopic surgery is the safest, minimally invasive, and therefore the most preferred management in such series (18).…”

“…The decision to remove the foreign body should consider possible risks. In the past, external approach was used (16,17). The same task is possible to accomplish with minimally invasive surgery after endoscopic techniques (functional endoscopic sinus surgery -FESS) were brought to practice in the 1980s.…”

“…2 One study documented four sphenoid sinus foreign bodies out of 26,000 war wounds. 3 Thus, foreign body lodged in the sphenoid sinus is a rare condition. Most were due to shrapnel wounds and air gun pellets.…”

Objective: To report a case of foreign body lodged within the sphenoid sinus and its extraction. Methods: Design: Case Report Setting: Tertiary Government Hospital Patient: One Results: An 11-year-old girl was hit in the eye by an unknown object from an improvised slingshot. She had loss of vision of the left eye and headache, without loss of consciousness. A plain craniofacial Computed Tomography (CT) scan showed a round opaque foreign body abutting the left sphenoid sinus, left posterior ethmoid cells and medial aspect of the left orbital region with adjacent soft tissue densities extending into the apparently ruptured, irregular left globe. The left posterior part of the lamina papyracea was not visualized, probably fractured or ruptured. Transorbital enucleation of the left eye and endoscopic-guided removal of the foreign body (a glass marble) were performed with no intra – operative and post – operative complications. Conclusion: Foreign body of the sphenoid sinus is a rare condition. Adequate imaging is important for localization and planning the optimal surgical approach. Endoscopic guidance may aid in extraction. Keywords: Sphenoid sinus foreign body, Computed Tomography (CT), Endoscopic-guided, transorbital approach
