AbstractPenetrating injuries of the paranasal sinuses due to foreign bodies are rare, especially as a result of a traffic accident. Here we report a patient with a ballpoint pen lodged in his left eye following a traffic accident. The pen extended from the medial aspect of the left orbit, through the left ethmoid sinus and the nasal septum, to the right sphenoid sinus. We removed the pen uneventfully using endoscopic sinus surgery. There are no similar reports in the English literature and we therefore present this case because of its rarity.

AbstarctThe paranasal sinuses are a rare site for tumours of myogenic origin. There has been only one previously reported case in the English literature. We present a case of a leiomyoma filling the anterior ethmoid sinus and middle meatus which was excised via a Patterson's external ethmoidectomy.

Although osteogenic sarcoma occurs in the head and neck, it is almost exclusively limited to the maxilla and the mandible. Single, rare cases of this tumor in other facial bones are mentioned in foreign reports, but a discussion in the English literature has not come to our attention. The case history of a 58-year-old woman with a nonspecific frontal sinus pain and right-sided proptosis is presented. Plain radiographs of the paranasal sinuses revealed a radiopaque, calcific mass in the right frontal sinus approximately 3 × 5 cm in diameter. It was noted that the mass had an “onionskin” lamination. Laminography aided in the exact localization of the mass; further, it was noted on arteriography that the frontal sinus mass did not invade the dura. A frozen section biopsy at the time of craniotomy suggested a benign histologic lesion. However, subsequent review of permanent sections showed findings typical of an osteogenic sarcoma. The patient was treated with irradiation and in the first postoperative year has done well.

A 35-year-old man with history of schizophrenia presented 3 weeks after placing a screw in his right nostril. Initial imaging showed a screw in the right ethmoid sinus with the tip penetrating the right cribriform plate. On exam, the patient was hemodynamically stable with purulent drainage in the right nasal cavity but no visible foreign body. While most nasal foreign bodies occur in children and are generally removed at the bedside, intranasal foreign bodies in adults tend to require further assessment. The foreign body in this case was concerning for skull base involvement and the patient was brought to the operating room (OR) with neurosurgery for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and removal of foreign body. The screw was removed and the patient recovered with no signs of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak postoperatively. Any concern for skull base or intracranial involvement should call for a full evaluation of the mechanism of injury and intervention in a controlled environment.

The authors present a case report of a retired furniture worker who initially presented with a mucin-secreting adenocarinoma of the right ethmoid sinus. He underwent surgical resection, leaving the nasal septum intact, and topical treatment with 5-fluorouracil. He remained disease free. Three years after his initial presentation he was found to have a left nasal polyp on routine examination. This subsequently proved to be a second primary adenocarcinoma. A review of the literature has not shown any other cases of a second primary adenocarcinoma of the ethmoid sinuses.

Deployment of the air bag in a passenger vehicle accident rarely causes otologic injuries. However, sensorineural hearing loss induced by air bag deployment is extremely rare, with only a few cases reported in the English literature. A 38-year-old man involved in a traffic accident while driving his car at 40 km/hour presented with right sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus, without associated vertigo. Pure-tone audiometry demonstrated elevated thresholds of 30 dB and 25 dB at 4 kHz and 8 kHz, respectively, on the right side. Air bag deployment in car accidents is associated with the risk of development of sensorineural hearing loss.

<p class="abstract">Foreign body in paranasal sinus is rare. Very few cases have been reported of lodgement of foreign body in paranasal sinuses. Garces and Norris reported that 70% of these foreign bodies usually appeared after maxillofacial traumas and 30% appeared during or after dental procedures of maxilla. Foreign bodies are less common in the frontal sinus as compared to maxillary sinus. This is a case of foreign body in frontal sinus in an eighteen-year-old gentleman after a road traffic accident.</p>

A 66-year-old woman presented with a 6-month history of unilateral right nasal obstruction and rhinorrhoea not responding to medical therapy. She had a history of dental implantation for an unerupted tooth on the right side 3 years ago. Physical examination including flexible nasendoscopy demonstrated yellow debris in the right middle meatus. CT paranasal sinuses demonstrated a radiopaque lesion in the right anterior ethmoid sinus and resembled the unerupted tooth. The tooth was removed endoscopically from the right nasal cavity without complications. This case highlights the importance of eliciting an accurate dental history and considering ectopic dentition as a differential diagnosis in a patient with unilateral symptoms of sinusitis.

Penetrating injuries can lead to multiple retained foreign bodies. To present a case of a penetrating stab injury on to the right orbital region of a 37-year-old woman which resulted in lacerations on both eyelids, loss of vision in addition to the retention of glass particle and woven artificial hair strands at the anterior end of the floor of the orbit. The woven artificial hair strand, being flexible in nature, was apparently logged in by the penetrating force of the broken glass used as the stab injury object. Under local anaesthesia, a gentle intermittent pull on one hair strand led to the dislodgement of a piece of broken glass particle along with the other end of the hair strand. The resultant wound was repaired. Stab injuries can result in retained multiple foreign bodies. This possibility should be considered during assessment and management of facial injuries to avoid complications of retention.

An extremely rare case of a granular cell tumour arising from the right Kiesselbach's area (Little's area) of the nasal septum is reported. A 69-year-old Japanese woman consulted our clinic and her chief complaints were of continuous serous discharge, stuffiness and occasional slight bleeding from the right nasal cavity. Fibrescopy showed a multilocular mass, which was provisionally considered a nasal polyp. Surgical excision was attempted. During surgery, the tumour shrank markedly following local application of adrenaline, suggestive of hypervascularity. The tumour was successfully excised by careful dissection after cauterisation of the mucosa surrounding the tumour. Histopathological examination revealed morphological features of granular cell tumour immunopositive for S-100 protein. This is the first report of granular cell tumour arising from the Kiesselbach's area in the English literature. The eccentric behaviour of the tumour and the management of a granular cell tumour arising from this area are discussed, together with a literature review.
