Abstract 

Silent sinus syndrome is characterized by enophtalmus and hypoglobus caused by the maxillary atelectasis. Approximately 160 cases have been published in the literature but none of them due to a nasal foreign body. A case with silent sinus syndrome related to a foreign body has been presented in this article. Utmost attention should be paid management of the nasal foreign body because it may be the reason for silent sinus syndrome.
