Summary
A 68-year-old man with severe craniofacial trauma underwent endoscopic surgery for nasal cerebrospinal fluid leak. During the operation, a plastic object in the shape of a spectacle lens was found wedged in the left nasal passage, which we extracted. As subsequently established from the patient’s documentation, it was a dislodged acrylic implant originally placed at the base of the orbit which was surgically treated after an injury to the facial skeleton thirty-five years ago. What is also rare about this is the fact that the patient had been examined for many years at the otorhinology department for purulent discharge from the left nasal cavity and impaired ventilation. The patient had also undergone an endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity during which an intranasal tumor was even suspected, but it was not histologically confirmed.
