ABSTRACT

Foreign bodies of nasal cavity and sinuses have been frequently encountered in the otolaryngologic field. Metal foreign bodies are occasionally found in nasal cavity and sinuses, and may be of dental origin or the result of a war injury or facial trauma. Recently, we experienced an interesting case of metallic foreign body (a fishhook weight) that remained in the maxillary sinus, nasal cavity, which was removed successfully by sublabial approach. Reporting this case, we suggest that special attention should be paid if the foreign bodies of nasal cavity is associated with facial trauma history. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2001;12:258-260)
