| description | Purpose: To understand the possible outcomes of intraorbital foreign body and to emphasize the importance of protective equipment.
Intraorbital foreign body is seen following road traffic accidents or workplace accidents, in cases where adequate protective equipment, such as helmets, are not worn. If not diagnosed early and treated immediately there is an increased possibility of developing ocular infection, especially in the case of a wooden foreign body. A 34-year-old inebriated male presented with history of a road traffic accident. On examination, the patient had a cut lacerated wound over the upper and the lower eyelid extending over the nose. The branch of a tree, measuring 8cm in size, was present medial to the globe. Imaging revealed right orbital blow out fracture with minimal herniation of orbital fat, with fracture of the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus. The branch was removed under general anesthesia and the lid tear was repaired. Post-operative period was uneventful. Management of intraorbital foreign bodies requires thorough evaluation and timely surgical management to avoid complications. |
