Patient: Male, 32-year-old Final Diagnosis: Foreign body in maxillary sinus Symptoms: Blindness • eye bleeding • eye pain • history of trauma Medication: — Clinical Procedure: Caldwell-Luc Specialty: Otolaryngology Objective: Unusual clinical course Background: Paranasal sinus foreign bodies are rarely encountered in otolaryngology practice. Case Report: We present the case of a 32-year-old man who presented to our Emergency Department with his left eye bleeding after a nail gun injury. The initial physical examination revealed the presence of a left eye ruptured globe, which led to left eye blindness. An urgent plain X-ray scan was done, in which the presence of a metallic object impacted in the left maxillary sinus was demonstrated. The patient was managed surgically by an external approach using the Caldwell-Luc procedure, with no intra- or postoperative complications. Conclusions: Paranasal sinus foreign bodies, if improperly treated, can cause serious morbidity. Surgical removal, either endoscopically or through an external approach, is required.

“…The proximity of the maxillary teeth to the maxillary sinuses may cause the endodontic materials to accidentally overflow the maxillary sinuses. [9] Literature results have shown that dental fillings with maxillary sinus can develop inflammation necrosis and FB in the maxillary sinus. Recent studies have shown that the risk of FB 14 times more than the patients without endodontic treatment in patients treated endodontically in the upper molar, premolars and canine teeth.…”
