stimulus. We experienced a case of a retained foreign body in the nasal cavity, which was found 1 year later at a second operation. CASE REPORT The patient was a 19-year-old male, 154.9 cm in height and 48.9 kg in weight. He was diagnosed with mandibular prognathism, and was scheduled for bimaxillary orthognathic surgery involving bilateral sagittal split mandibular setback osteotomy and LeFort I maxillary advancement under general anesthesia.

topical anesthetic depends on the region of the oral cavity to which it is applied. Topical anesthetics proved effective during needle penetration for anesthesia in the anterior region of the maxilla. However, no difference was noted from placebo in the posterior areas of the maxilla or in the inferior alveolar nerve. According to Carr and Horton, 10 there was no difference in pain threshold reported by patients when using needles of 25 and 27 gauge for administration of local anesthesia in the oral cavity. Topical anesthetics must be used carefully because
