Foreign bodies in the paranasal sinus are not rare in the field of otorhinolaryngology. Here we report a case of a foreign body retained the paranasal sinus for 13 years.The patient was a 26-year-old woman whose chief complaint was postnasal drip. Thirteen years earlier, she had fallen from a bicycle into a bamboo thicket and a piece of bamboo had pierced the outer part of the right root of the nose. She had undergone operqtuon to remove the bamboo by an external incision, but a residual foreign body was observed by CT. We removed the foreign body by radical surgery on the paranasal sinus. Postoperative CT showed no residual foreign body and the course was good. There were no complications such as oculomotor disturbances before or after surgery.This case is reported as a patient with a long-term foreign body in the paranasal sinus. Some discussion of the literature also presented.
