A case of an evasive radiolucent foreign body of the infratemporal fossa is reported in which the simple technique of sinography permitted localization and successful excision. The technique is recommended for the evaluation of chronically draining wounds to determine the extent and course of the sinus tract and to aid in the detection of radiolucent foreign bodies.
