The metallic foreign body may happen in case of gunshot injury and bullet, or pellet may retain in the maxillary sinus. Very rarely metallic foreign body like a dental burr may get lodged into maxillary sinus during dental procedure. If it happens ENT surgeon may be called upon to deal the foreign body.

The accident happened in Dental department of the same hospital. We reviewed the options for the removal of the foreign body. There are two accepted approaches open and endoscopic for management of such cases. We successfully removed the foreign body through open approach.
