A patient inserted foreign bodies into the sphenoid sinus, highlighting potential complications. A psychiatric evaluation is crucial for managing such cases involving self-inflicted sinus trauma.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Psychiatry
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Foreign bodies in the sphenoid sinus are rare but can lead to serious complications.
  • Self-insertion of foreign bodies into the sinonasal cavity necessitates a comprehensive medical and psychiatric assessment.

Observation:

  • A case report details a patient presenting with three foreign bodies within the right sphenoid sinus.
  • Imaging and clinical examination confirmed the presence and location of the foreign bodies.

Findings:

  • The foreign bodies were successfully removed.
  • Potential consequences include infection, hemorrhage, and neurological deficits.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering psychiatric comorbidities in patients with sinonasal foreign bodies.
