Abstract
The authors report two cases of long-standing foreign bodies of the frontal area, one in a 45-year-old man with a piece of a chopstick embedded in the frontal bone for 40 years, and the other in a 31-year-old man with a piece of front window glass broken during an automobile accident buied in the frontal sinus for 10 years.
Both foreign bodies showed no significant complications and were found accidentally.
The authors reviewed 35 other cases of longstanding foreign bodies in the facial area which appeared in Japanese literature.
