Sphenoidal sinus foreign bodies are very rare entities that are often associated with a cranial and/or orbital trauma. In this paper, a case of a metallic foreign body that pierced the sphenoid sinus and penetrated into the intracranial space due to a work accident is presented. A 29-year-old male was referred to our clinic due to a right orbital penetrating trauma. Skull X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scans demonstrated a foreign body inside the sphenoidal sinus, extending to the left temporal fossa. The foreign body was removed using an endoscopic endonasal technique, and the skull base was reconstructed with a multilayer closure technique. There were no complications during or after the operation. Postoperative result was perfect after three months of follow up.

Case Presentation: A 10-year-old girl with a history of magnet aspiration went into respiratory distress due to dislodgement of magnet to opposite main bronchus following failed attempt of removal via Rigid Bronchoscopy.

Purpose Of The Review: In recent years, Berger's space (BS), the potential space between the posterior lens capsule and the anterior hyaloid membrane, has received little attention from the ophthalmic clinical community. This is primarily due to the limited documentation, with only a few isolated case reports detailing foreign bodies in this area.
Recent Findings: Recent advances in medical imaging technology have enabled the visualization of the BS under various circumstances.
Introduction: This case report describes a rare instance of small bowel obstruction (SBO) caused by the ingestion of a whole Shine-Muscat grape in a 7-month-old infant. This case adds to the scientific literature by highlighting the potential risk of common fruits, such as grapes, in causing serious gastrointestinal blockages in pediatric patients, which is an uncommon but important consideration for pediatricians and caregivers.
Main Symptoms And Clinical Findings: A 7-month-old female presented with a 3-day history of vomiting, which progressed to bilious vomiting, accompanied by abdominal distension and dehydration.
