Impacted Foreign Body in Frontal Sinus- A Rare Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Foreign bodies embedded in the paranasal sinuses, especially in the frontal sinus are uncommon. We report a case of windshield glass embedded in the frontal sinus but was not involving the posterior wall of sinus or frontal lobe, as observed in the CT scans. Due consideration was given to remove the entire glass as one piece. However, small fragments broke off, which were removed with repeated and thorough examination of the sinus. We emphasize the importance of thorough clinical examination, appropriate radiographic techniques and an endeavour to remove the foreign body In Toto.
