Overview

A foreign body in the orbit is a relatively uncommon but serious complication of a penetrating orbital injury. The clinical manifestations of a chronic foreign body may be insignifi cant. Also, dia gnostics and accurate localization of foreign bodies in orbit (especially organic) using imaging methods may not always be unambiguous. In the case report, we describe the case of a two-year-old boy with a woody foreign body in the orbit, whose dia gnosis was delayed, despite repeated surgical interventions and imaging, and the foreign body was removed more than six months later laterally.

Keywords:
