Abstract
An 81-year-old male sustained a penetrating injury at the left medial angle of the eye caused by a wooden foreign body. Computed tomography showed that the foreign body had penetrated the orbit, ethmoidal sinus, nasal septum, and finally reached just in front of the atlas.
We tried to extract the foreign body as soon as possible for preventing infection using endoscopic sinus surgery, and could do so succeeded without complication. Endoscopic sinus surgery is an effective approach to extract orbital-sinus foreign body.
