- Abstract
An 18 month old male child presented with the complaint of foreign body-one and half inch broken piece of quilt sewing needle fully impacted between nasal bridge and medial angle of left eye. The needle was safely removed endonasaly using 4 mm 0° Karl stroz telescope avoiding external scar from anterior ethmoid area under general anaesthesia. Minimal exploration of lateral wall of nose, keeping anterior 1/3 of middle turbinate as the landmark, helped in safe removal of foreign body, as no CT scan was there and since the patient was poor. This is rare and unusual location of foreign body removed safely without any complications.
