“…The lack of infection related to the foreign body in our case is in accordance with other studies [ 6 , 7 ]. On the other hand, foreign bodies crossing the maxillary sinus are usually acutely symptomatic unlike our case report [ 23 , 24 ]. Although the portion of the foreign body crossing the maxillary sinus in our case has been retrieved; there is no reported significant correlation between retained metal fragments and infections [ 20 ].…”

HighlightsThe mode of entry of the foreign body was unique as well as the force required to impale and break a knife blade in bone.The authors present a minimally invasive technique for dealing with this type of injury and highlight its challenges.This case report emphasis the need for baseline radiology in cases of traumatology especially those with vague history.The patient was examined by multiple physicians who did not detect the foreign body which could raise medico-legal issues.

Introduction: Foreign bodies (FB) of the paranasal sinuses are an uncommon clinical entities with the maxillary sinuses being those most frequently affected. According to the literature, 60% of paranasal sinus FB are of iatrogenic origin, while 25% are of traumatic origin. This article aims to present an iatrogenic origin series of cases of FB displaced or projecting into the maxillary sinus. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, the presence of the foreign body was revealed with radiologic methods and confirmed during the operation with macroscopic or later with histopathologic examination. All cases were treated with osteoplasty with vascularised pedicled bone flap or through minimally invasive intraoral procedure. Results: A total of 27 patients were included in our study, 14 men and 13 women. The age range was 18–65 years with mean age of 46.14 (standard deviation = 10.35) years. Foreign body was displaced fragments of teeth in 11 patients (40.27%), complete teeth in four patients (14.81%), dental implants in five patients (18.51%), dental impression material in 2 cases (7,40%), gutta percha cone in two patients (7.40%), endodontic sealer associated with aspergillosis in two patients (7.40%), and dental burr in one patient (3.7%). The time between dental foreign body displacement and the surgical intervention for its removal was critical for the occurrence of sinusitis. All operated patients remained asymptomatic during a follow-up of at least 1 year. Discussion: Prompt intervention for removal of FB eliminates the risk for chronic inflammation of the affected maxillary sinus and reduces the odds for sequelae.
