Study Design: A case report. Objective: To identify the problems and solutions of the treatment of foreign body trauma in the maxillofacial region. Methods: Two cases of foreign body trauma patients include physical examination findings, radiological images and follow-up was documented to find out the after effect of residual part and treatment outcomes. Result: Both patients received treatment immediately after injury. But few months later complications arise due to the remnant of foreign body. In case of first patient location was not suitable for USG and radiology also unsuccessful to notice the presence of foreign body. In case of 2nd patient need further treatment after initial management. Conclusion:Causes for the remnant of foreign body during first steps of management are bleeding, proximity to the vital structures, and hiding in the spaces created by multiple fascia layers in the oro-facial region and causes late complications like swelling, trismus, discharging sinuses, etc. Radiological imaging sometimes fails to detect the presence and position of remnants. So further treatment is very difficult for the surgeon.

“…They are usually traumatic and in some cases iatrogenic. In most of the case reports pertaining to the foreign body infratemporal fossa the foreign body had found its way into the region following trauma and the main clinical symptom being trismus [4] [5]. Keeping in view the other important organs like eye and brain in the immediate vicinity of the space and its potential communicating portals with these organs via the anatomical foraminas, the foreign body in such a location with its potential to cause inflammatory reaction and tendency to migrate is always a potential threat for causing serious complications like proptosis with threat to vision and various intracranial complication [6].…”

Nasal endoscopy and CT scan revealed a foreign body lodged in posterior half of both nasal cavity, left maxillary sinus and left infratemporal fossa penetrating the walls of maxillary sinus and nasal septum. Foreign body was removed by infratemporal fossa approach. This case has a rare location of a forgotten foreign body with atypical presentation.

Trismus is a rare presentation affecting neonates, children, and adults. In newborns there are serious implications, with potential to affect feeding, cause airway problems, and make intubation difficult. Causes of trismus seen in the paediatric patient are discussed in this review article; they are divided into intra‐ and extra‐articular types. The extra‐articular group consists of congenital and acquired disorders. The acquired group includes infective causes such as tetanus, iatrogenic causes related to drugs, cancer or dental treatment, and trauma causing articulation difficulty or triggering a rare type of bone growth in myositis ossificans. Changes in the mouth resulting from oral submucous fibrosis can undergo malignant transformation. This review aims to raise awareness of potential causes of trismus in paediatric populations, helping clinicians identify the underlying pathology so appropriate strategies for treatment be applied, with the ultimate aim of improving long‐term outlook and quality of life for affected children.
