Abstract:
Ethmoid sinus foreign body can be divided into endogenous and exogenous, the clinically referred mostly belonging to the exogenous foreign body. The exogenous ethmoid sinus foreign body generally has a history of facial trauma, its clinical manifestations are associated with the foreign body size, nature, residence time and location. Using X-ray, CT scan can further confirm the diagnosis. Removing the ethmoid sinus foreign body may have a better therapeutic effect by endoscopic sinus surgery. Here we report a rare case of foreign body in the ethmoid sinus.
