Abstract

Foreign bodies are an unusual indication for endoscopic sinus surgery. If outpatient extraction is not possible and acute sinusitis ensues, thorough exploration and extended surgical dissection should be considered to clear the nasal cavities.

Keywords: endoscopic sinus surgery; nasal foreign body.
