Embedded fishhooks, digital ring entrapment, and foreign bodies of the ear, nose, and superficial eye and conjunctiva may present to primary care clinics and can often be managed there. This review is a guide for primary care clinicians for effective, pragmatic, and safe techniques to address these scenarios in the office and when to refer them to a surgeon.

Otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat) emergencies are a common complaint in the emergency department. These can present as a result of infection, trauma, foreign bodies, or postprocedure complications. The emergency department physician is called on to offer initial if not definitive management of these patients. This article discusses common ear, nose, and throat emergencies presenting to the emergency department.

Facial foreign body (FB) is common after trauma, but iatrogenic orbital FB is a rare and unexpected complication of facial FB removal surgery. We present the case of a 43-year-old man with a glass FB in his nose. During the operation, this FB broke into two pieces, and the larger one pierced into the left orbit, close to the eyeball. A three-dimensional (3D) model was made that accurately recreated the shape and position of the FB in the orbit, according to which the FB was removed. 3D-printing technology is a great tool when dealing with complex facial FB.

We present a surgical procedure that provides exposure to the medial part of the orbit, the interorbital space, and the nasopharynx. A midline incision of the nose is followed by a pedicled osteotomy of the lateral nasal wall and the medial wall of the orbit in one piece. This transnasal approach provides good exposure to the medial parts of the craniofacial junction to remove foreign bodies or benign tumors.

Cranial gunshot wounds can result in a number of possible and seemingly impossible combinations of neurological deficits. It is unusual for an individual to both survive and remain neurologically intact. This is the report of such an incident.
