Recent advances in compressed-gas technology have drastically increased the firing power of these types of firearms, which has caused them to be more dangerous and capable of causing severe injury. We report the case of an 11-year-old male admitted for nasal injury caused by a BB gun pellet. The projectile had an unpredictable course: it pierced the skin of his left nasal sidewall, traversed through the soft tissues of the nose to the right nasal cavity violating the posterior septum, and lodged in the right posterior ethmoids adjacent to the posterior attachment of the middle turbinate. The metallic foreign object was successfully retrieved from the right nasal cavity via an endoscopic approach after minimal endoscopic dissection, guided by the preoperative radiologic imaging.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjac229","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,1]],"date-time":"2022-06-01T01:16:46Z","timestamp":1654046206000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A case of an air gun bullet paranasal sinuses injury in an 11-year-old male"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2022","author":[{"given":"Alexandros","family":"Georgolios","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery, Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center , Poplar Bluff, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Brestel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Arkansas College of Osteopathic Medicine , Fort Smith, AR, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adrienne","family":"Childers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, SSM Cardinal Glennon Children\u2019s Hospital , St. Louis, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022060101162695300_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"146","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2019.09.068","article-title":"Toy guns, real danger: an update on pediatric injury patterns related to nonpowder weapons","volume":"55","author":"McLoughlin","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"2022060101162695300_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1357","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2004-1799","article-title":"Injury risk of nonpowder guns","volume":"114","author":"Laraque","year":"2004","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"2022060101162695300_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"609","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.100.4.609","article-title":"Serious and fatal air gun injuries: more than meets the eye","volume":"100","author":"Bratton","year":"1997","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"2022060101162695300_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"215","DOI":"10.3171\/2015.6.PEDS15148","article-title":"Penetrating head injuries in children due to bb and pellet guns: a poorly recognized public health risk","volume":"17","author":"Kumar","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Neurosurg Pediatr"},{"key":"2022060101162695300_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"853","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599817695546","article-title":"A 10-year analysis of head and neck injuries involving nonpowder firearms","volume":"156","author":"Dandu","year":"2017","journal-title":"Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg"},{"key":"2022060101162695300_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"176","DOI":"10.1177\/014556130408300313","article-title":"A case of a bb-gun pellet injury to the ethmoid sinus in a child","volume":"83","author":"Chhetri","year":"2004","journal-title":"Ear Nose Throat J"},{"key":"2022060101162695300_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1253","DOI":"10.1007\/s00405-007-0324-y","article-title":"An unusual air gun injury to the ethmoid sinus","volume":"264","author":"Badran","year":"2007","journal-title":"Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol"},{"key":"2022060101162695300_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"256","DOI":"10.1093\/jnci\/djy104","article-title":"Radiation exposure from pediatric ct scans and subsequent cancer risk in the netherlands","volume":"111","author":"Meulepas","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Natl Cancer Inst"}],"container-title":["Journal of Surgical Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2022\/5\/rjac229\/43905120\/rjac229.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article-pdf\/2022\/5\/rjac229\/43905120\/rjac229.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,1]],"date-time":"2022-06-01T01:16:54Z","timestamp":1654046214000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jscr\/article\/doi\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjac229\/6596084"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,1]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1093\/jscr\/rjac229","relation":{},"ISSN":["2042-8812"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2042-8812","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published-other":{"date-parts":[[2022,5]]},"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,1]]},"article-number":"rjac229"}}
