We reported a case of secondary infraorbital neuralgia due to a foreign body involving the nasal ala. As it was a very rare care, we reviewed reported literatures. This case highlights that infraorbital neuralgia could be caused by any tiny problems such as foreign body involving the area innervated by infraorbital nerve.
