ABSTRACTForeign body in paranasal sinus is rare. Very few cases have been reported of lodgement of foreign body in paranasal sinuses. Garces and Norris reported that 70% of these foreign bodies usually appeared after maxillofacial traumas and 30% appeared during or after dental procedures of maxilla.
