AbstractHarlequin syndrome is a condition characterized by autonomic dysfunction leading to hemifacial flushing on one side with pallor and impaired sweating on the other side. It is a rare condition that can be both congenital and acquired, with congenital cases being rarer, comprising ∼6% of all Harlequin syndrome cases. Harlequin syndrome is usually associated with other autonomic disturbances including Horner syndrome especially when presenting as a congenital condition. We reported the findings of a rare case of concomitant congenital Horner and Harlequin syndromes in an otherwise healthy 4-month-old male infant patient and provided a review of the current literature.

the entrance of a foreign body (FB) into the maxillary antrum is common in trauma patients where bullets or any other materials trapped in the maxillary sinus; however, iatrogenic cause by a dentist that results in FB entrapment in the maxillary antrum is rare. All these FBs can cause sinusitis. If not treated properly they will cause serious infection, which may spread to the other paranasal sinuses. A careful clinical examination and treatment plan will prevent further complications. In this review, we present a rare case of dental bur (DB) found in the left maxillary antrum. A review of literature revealed only a few cases published which describe a dental bur dislodged in the maxillary antrum.
