Introduction: The penetration of foreign bodies in the maxillary sinuses is a relatively common pathology. It is observed in a number of traumas and dental procedures. The specificity of this type of etiology is that the penetration of the foreign bodies into the sinuses is combined, to a different degree, with damage to the soft tissues and the bones of the jaws, or a dental procedure.
Aim: The aim of this article is to present an unusual case of a foreign body in the maxillary sinuses.
Conclusion: During high-risk procedures, the clinicians need to check thoroughly for any residual foreign bodies in the maxillary sinus.
