Abstract
|
|
|
|
The penetrating foreign body of skull base can be occasionally life-threatening. However, the severity and extent of these injuries depend upon the inflicting object, the anatomic site involved, and the force of penetration. Penetrating injuries generally result from gunshots and knife stabs. The authors experienced a rare case of penetrated metalic foreign body which remained for about 5 years in the left nasal cavity through cribriform plate to frontal lobe. The nasocranial foreign body was removed successfully through nasal endoscopy without difficulty.
