This case report details an unusual 6-year foreign body impaction in the infraorbital and ethmoid sinus regions. It highlights challenges in diagnosing radiolucent foreign bodies, emphasizing clinical evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Radiology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Foreign body impaction in the sinonasal region can present diagnostic challenges.
  • Long-standing retained foreign bodies may lead to chronic inflammation and complications.

Observation:

  • A 6-year duration foreign body was impacted in the right infraorbital region, extending into the ethmoid sinus.
  • The foreign body was relatively radiolucent, posing evaluation difficulties.

Findings:

  • Thorough patient history and clinical examination are crucial for diagnosing retained foreign bodies.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) presents challenges in evaluating radiolucent foreign bodies.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering unusual presentations of foreign body impaction.
