Popis: A 30-year-old male presented with accidental injury with an arrow which referred to us from a peripheral village hospital. It was found that the arrow was penetrating through the nasal bones. An xray skull lateral view showed the tip of the arrow penetrating into the posterior wall of the sphenoid sinus. As the patient had no clinical evidence of neurological or vascular injury, he was immediately operated upon and the arrow was removed. Patient was discharged in good condition and a 3-month follow-up was normal.
