Intraorbital foreign body may lead to unexpected findings; their management depends on the type of projectile and its intraorbital trajectory. Medical imaging is an imperative part of the initial assessment. The main two risks of these injuries are first mechanical with possible bulbe, nerve, muscle or bone complications and second infectious. We report a case of long metallic intraocular forei...

Intraorbital foreign body (IoFB) presents an interesting therapeutic dilemma when located posterior in the orbit. Factors such as foreign body composition, inflammation, infection, functional deficit, and potential for iatrogenic damage are considered when choosing the appropriate treatment.

Intraorbital foreign bodies usually occur after a high velocity injury such as gunshot or industrial accidents; more rarely they occur following trivial trauma. A retained foreign body can give rise to serious complications, the most devastating of which is loss of the eye. This retrospective, interventional case report reviews the clinical features, radiological appearance and surgical managem...

BACKGROUND We aimed to describe herein the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of intraorbital wooden foreign body injuries. METHODS A case series review of orbital injuries managed at Trakya University Faculty of Medicine between 2002 and 2012 was performed retrospectively. The clinical analysis of 32 intraorbital wooden foreign body injuries was reviewed. RESULTS Among the 32 cases...
