Abstract

Foreign body (FB) in the nose is a frequent situation seen generally among children. A variety of objects left in different sites of the nose has been reported in the literature. Insertion of a FB to the nose is generally via the anterior nares. In this report, an unusual entry site for a nasal FB in a neglected trauma patient is presented. FB should be suspected and investigated in children after penetrating facial injury.
