Abstract
Penetrating injuries of the paranasal sinuses due to a foreign body are rare. Foreign bodies are usually removed if they are accessible with no serious complications. During removal endoscopy is applicable. Most frequent foreign bodies are metallic or vegetable in nature. We present here a case of a pellet injury of the ethmoid sinuses.
This foreign body was removed successfully by endoscopic approach without complications.
The presentation of the patient and the operative procedure are well described with a literature review. We present this case because of it is rare in the ethmoid sinus in our country. Actually the application of endoscopy here is unique.
