Abstract: Presence of foreign body in the paranasal sinus is not a common finding. Many cases have been reported so far with foreign body like dental amalgam, chop sticks, gutta percha pellets, tooth, glue and even bullets. However presence of foreign body in the frontal sinus as a result of penetrating injury is uncommon. Most of them have been the result of trauma after vehicle accidents, gunshot injury and assault.There are two treatment options, endoscopic and open surgical approach for removal of foreign body. We present an interesting case of the transfacial penetrating injuries of frontal sinus caused by windshield glass impaction.
Keywords: dental amalgam, chop sticks, tooth, penetrating injury, vehicle accidents.
