The anatomic position of this region and the presence of important neurovascular structures make this region a sophisticated one. Commonly used open procedures can have morbidity of neurovascular system. To prevent probable complications like facial nerve injury in this case which was the most important factor for us, we decided to remove the foreign body under endoscopic guide.
