Abstract Tear-drop fracture of the axis are rare. It is characterized by a fracture of the anterior-inferior corner of the C2 body. The mechanism is usually in extension which is different from the tear-drop of lower cervical spine. We report two cases of adults who sustained a road traffic accident. They did not have any neurological deficit. The diagnosis was made on radiological examination. They both were treated conservatively with rigid immobilization and recovered well. Tear-drop fracture of the axis are usually stable. Imagery is the key of the diagnosis. Neurological deficit is rare. Conservative management usually give good outcome for non-complicated cases.

Parry Romberg syndrome (PRS) is a rare disorder, characterized by unilateral facial atrophy of the skin, subcutaneous fat, muscles, cartilages, and even bone. Various systemic manifestations re­ported with this syndrome are neurologic, maxillofacial, and ophthalmologic. The etiology is still unknown. Herein we present a case report of 23 years young engineering student who had PRS and got a fracture of the right angle of his mandible after a road traffic accident.

<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>
