Abstract

Foreign bodies (FBs) in the paranasal sinuses are rare, whether iatrogenic or traumatic. One of the most common causes of such traumatic injuries is gunshot wounds from the bullets. Removing FBs from the paranasal sinuses usually needs endoscopic or open surgery. We present the case of a 22-year-old male soldier who sustained a penetrating injury of his nose and maxillary sinus with an iron rod that was a part of his gun, which was removed without either endoscopic or open paranasal sinus surgery.
