Abstract

A case of chronic facial pain and headache is presented. This was found to be due to two pieces of windscreen-glass lodged in the superior meatus of the patient's nose since a road-traffic-accident 14 years earlier. Despite being reported as normal, review of previous X-rays of her sinuses showed that the glass was visible. The importance of carefully assessing the intranasal area on sinus-views is illustrated.

摘要

本文报告了一例慢性面部疼痛和头痛的病例。发现病因是14年前道路交通事故后，两块挡风玻璃碎片滞留在患者鼻腔的上鼻道。尽管之前鼻窦X光检查报告正常，但复查发现玻璃碎片清晰可见。这说明了在鼻窦X光片上仔细评估鼻腔区域的重要性。
