Abstract
A case of 18-year-old male with foreign bodies in the frontal sinus caused by a traffic accident is reported. Loosing control of the steering wheel, he ran into an electric-light pole and hit his forehead on the windwhield. An X-ray study revealed many pieces of glass in the right frontal sinus. Extranasal osteoplastic frontal surgery was performed and 17 pieces of the glass were removed. No obstruction of the naso-frontal duct was observed. We found 13 cases of the foreign bodies in the frontal sinus in the Japanese literatures from 1892 to 1984.
