| Foreign body can be defined as any matter that created out of scope of the body but inter the body due to injury, Plain radiograph, computed tomography scan ,magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography could be used to assess and localize the foreign body, In this case report we will explain a case of foreign body established in the maxillary sinus and how CT scan was useful in determine the position of this foreign body, the surgeon reported that computed tomography scan was useful in such cases, so it can be concluded that computed tomography scan can assess the size and shape of the precisely and can give the exact position of foreign body but the patient receive higher dose of radiation rather than the dose has been received from dental panoramic tomography. | ||
