ABSTRACT
A 32 year old man was accidentally hit by a broken saw blade on the face. The blade caused a lacerated wound of entry on the cheek. Its impaction was not recognized initially when the wound was sutured. Subsequent cheek swelling and epistaxis prompted him for an ENT consultation. X-rays showed the saw blade lying in the soft tissue of the cheek. Under general anaesthesia, external manipulation showed the edge of the foreign body visible in the nasal cavity below the inferior turbinate. Intranasal removal was successful
