Impaction of foreign bodies in the paranasal sinuses is unusual. We report the case of a 6-year-old male child who was brought to us with a non-resolving painful swelling in the medial wall of right orbit. Radiological investigations revealed it to be a metallic foreign body. A careful history from the child and his parents revealed an incident suggestive of trauma to that region one month before presentation.
