Abstract

We report an interesting case of a foreign body lodged in right orbit and infratemporal fossa, which presented with a discharging sinus in the right infraorbital region. The patient gave history of history of road traffic accident six months back with facial trauma and penetrating injury with a wooden stick in infraorbital area. A long solid wooden stick was removed in toto using an external infraorbital approach. Here we discuss the various approaches to the infratemporal fossa and also review the literature of such type of foreign bodies.
