“…A great variety of foreign bodies can be found in the paranasal sinuses. These may include wood, cotton, gauze, bullet, shrapnel, glass pieces, and bone wax (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). Foreign bodies are encountered much rarer in the frontal sinus.…”

“…In the literature, intracranial foreign bodies are usually observed in the orbital and frontal sinuses and nasal region (1,2). Garces and Norris (3) reported that 70% of these foreign bodies usually appeared after maxillofacial traumas and 30% appeared during or after dental procedures of maxilla. Foreign bodies are less common in the frontal sinus as compared to maxillary sinus.…”

“…Foreign bodies are less common in the frontal sinus as compared to maxillary sinus. Hemostasis or supporting materials that are used in the intracranial lesions treated via transfrontal craniotomy are also among the causes of foreign bodies of frontal sinus (3,4). Foreign bodies in paranasal sinuses may sometimes be asymptomatic.…”

“…However, foreign bodies including glass, air gun projectiles, metal splinters, and plastic chair glides have been reported.

We report a case of foreign body presence in the ethmoid sinus cavity with anterior skull base fracture and visual loss. A 42-year-old male had an uncertain history of trauma and a penetrating wound near the left medial canthus. Computed tomography imaging showed a 3.0-cm bottle cap penetrating into the anterior skull base. He underwent foreign body removal, canalicular repair, ethmoidectomy, and cerebrospinal fluid leakage repair using packing material. Six months after the initial surgery, a second-stage operation for blow-out fracture repair was performed. At the 18-month postoperative follow-up from the initial surgery, the patient had no complaints except anosmia. This is a very rare case of a large, blunt, foreign body penetrating into the anterior skull base without long-term complications after successful removal and skull base repair. Simultaneous repair of cerebrospinal fluid leakage, management of canaliculi injury, and traumatic optic nerve neuropathy should be considered in such cases. KEY WORDS:Skull baseㆍBottle capㆍForeign body.

A 46-year-old female patient presented with a discharging wound over the nasal bridge, near the medial end of the right eyebrow of 2 months duration. She did not give any history of trauma or surgery in the past. Wound exploration showed a glass piece in the floor of the right frontal sinus. After showing the glass piece, patient remembered road traffic accident she had at the age of 18 years. Patient was asymptomatic for 28 years.To our knowledge, this is the longest retained case of asymptomatic foreign body in the frontal sinus reported in the world literature. Case report and a review of literature concerning foreign body in the frontal sinus are presented.
