Abstract
Retained foreign bodies in the maxillofacial region are uncommon and rarely reported. In this case, a report of a penetrating facial injury with a retained knife blade is presented. The importance of thorough clinical and radiographic examinations in order to prevent the possibility of a missed or failed diagnosis is discussed.
