RESUMO
Los cuerpos extraños nasosinusales son poco frecuentes. Su presencia en las cavidades perinasales puede originar complicaciones, por lo que su extracción siempre está indicada. Presentamos 3 casos clínicos de cuerpo extraño nasosinusal, exponemos su sintomatología, hallazgos imagenológicos y extracción quirúrgica. A cada uno de los sujetos se le realizó un estudio con tomografía computarizada de cavidades perinasales, endoscopia rígida y cirugía endoscópica nasosinusal. Se confirmó la presencia de cuerpo extraño y se realizó la extracción quirúrgica de este por vía endoscópica transnasal. Los cuerpos extraños nasosinusales son cuadros infrecuentes que requieren su extracción para evitar complicaciones, siendo la cirugía endoscópica transnasal la vía de abordaje más usada (AU)
Sinonasal foreign bodies are rare clinical entities. Their presence in the sinuses can originate complications, so their removal is always indicated. We present 3 cases of sinonasal foreign body, indicating their symptoms, imaging findings and surgical removal. Each patient was assessed with computerized tomography of the sinuses, rigid endoscopy, and then surgical removal. We confirmed the presence of the foreign bodies in all 3 cases and then performed a successful surgical removal by transnasal endoscopy. Sinonasal foreign bodies are infrequent entities that require surgical removal to prevent complications, with transnasal endoscopic surgery being the most commonly used surgical approach (AU)
