Abstract
Maxillary foreign bodies are usually not uncommon but may remain unnoticed. Unnoticed foreign bodies may lead to chronic sinusitis. Large foreign bodies may also lead to traumatic optic neuropathy by entering into the orbit. We here present a case of large foreign body of maxillary sinus secondary to trauma leading to multiple fractures of facial bony framework along with traumatic optic neuropathy.
