“…The nature of FB in our study was metallic in the majority of cases, and glass pieces in one patient, which agrees with many reviewed studies. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] In our study, the frontal sinus was not affected in any patient and the maxillary in only two patients. This is different from most of the literature review, as mentioned previously, because the nature of the ballistic with a high speed of penetration can affect more deep sinuses as equal as the anterior sinuses, together with the increased risk of complications to adjacent vital structures like the orbit.…”

“…1 Penetrating injuries of the paranasal sinuses due to a foreign body are rare, and evaluation of the extent of injury plays a major role in planning management. 2 The literature review reveals that more than 50 per cent of these foreign bodies were found in the maxillary sinus, involvement of the frontal, ethmoid, and sphenoid sinuses was nearly equal. 3,4 The maxillary antrum was the sinus most often involved in dental procedures.…”

It is a retrospective study in which rare or unusual cases of traumatic foreign bodies in the paranasal sinuses, which exclusively resulted from explosions and violent acts over the last five years, were analyzed and studied. In the presence of security instability and violent acts with explosions and clashes in the unstable areas in Iraq, many casualties including civilians and military subjects are affected. In this review, eight cases of traumatic foreign bodies in the paranasal sinuses were collected and the majority was managed by the author. Six patients were civilians, while 2 were military personals. All patients were males except for one female casualty. The ethmoid sinuses were affected in the majority of cases (5 cases), while the maxillary sinus was affected in 2 patients, and the sphenoid sinus in one patient. Surgical intervention was done in 4 patients, while 4 patients were not operated. This study outlines the presentations, effects, and complications of the foreign bodies in the sinuses, together with a description of the surgical procedure adopted in the operated patients.

“…Sino-orbital foreign body can be removed by exclusive endoscope or endoscope assisted along with open exploration. 13,14 A written consent, in case of need of conventional open approach and slipping of foreign body into airway, needs to be obtained when done under local anesthesia. We had used choanal pack in this patient to prevent slipping of foreign body.…”

Intraorbital foreign body extending to sinuses is rare; often such cases are associated with multiple ocular and orbital morbidities. Retained organic foreign bodies can cause severe inflammation and are detected earlier, whereas inorganic foreign bodies are inert and well tolerated except copper. The management of posteriorly located orbital foreign bodies is a therapeutic dilemma. We report an unusual case of posterior orbital foreign body extending to the ethmoids and sphenoid sinus exclusively removed by transnasal endoscopic approach. Transnasal endoscopic approach can be used as an effective and efficient approach for the removal of orbital foreign bodies lodged on the medial side of the orbit. This approach is recommended in all the cases of foreign bodies in the craniofacial region provided that it is approachable through endoscope and expertise and facilities are available.

“…Der Patient spürt dabei häufig nur einen Schlag gegen die Nase, gefolgt von Nasenbluten. Bei der klinischen Untersuchung ist eine offene Verletzung dann nicht sichtbar, und die Diagnose kann nur gestellt werden, wenn eine Schädelübersichts-oder Nasennebenhöhlenaufnahme angefertigt wird [2,4,9,11,14,21]. In aller Regel ist eine konventionelle NNH, kombiniert mit einer Fernröntgenseitlich-oder Schä-delseitlichaufnahme als 2.…”
