We present a 29 year old man who had unilateral visual loss and 3rd cranial nerve palsy after a nasal septoplasty. Nasal packing was extending from the right nasal cavity into the right frontal lobe passing through the right orbit. A combined trans-cranial and endoscopic endonasal approach was performed to safely remove the nasal packing and to achieve a leak-proof sealing of the anterior cranial base. This surgical technique proved successful in the management of this unique complication and should be considered in the surgical management of foreign body removal from the anterior cranial base.
