Abstract

The visual loss due to retained orbital foreign body may be associated with the ruptured globe, traumatic optic neuropathy, and orbital fracture. Metallic foreign body is more common than non-metallic foreign body. A young male are commonly affected by an orbital foreign body. Our aim is to describe a case report on retained orbital foreign bodies of a young male patient. The presenting feature was chronic discharging sinus. CT scan confirmed the organic foreign body in the orbit. MRI may be done as adjunct to CT scan of the orbit in the cases of wooden foreign body. Surgical extraction was made for two times. A high index of suspicion is mandatory for the suspected case of orbital foreign body. Multiple pieces of wooden foreign may be found.

Keywords: Foreign body, CT scan of the orbit, Orbit, Organic, Surgical extraction.
