Study of a Large Intraorbital Wooden Foreign Body Perforating the Lateral Orbital Wall of Left Eye in a Child: A Clinical Approach | Chapter 14 | New Frontiers in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 11

 Children in India are particularly vulnerable to injuries caused by wooden objects, spears, and balls, among other things, thus there should be greater understanding of the measures to be taken as well as the management of such injuries. Children's intraorbital foreign bodies are difficult to detect. Intraorbital foreign entities that are organic and non-organic behave differently and have a variable prognosis. This article discusses how to handle such situations. A 6-year-old child presented to our clinic with a history of a foreign body in her eye. According to the report, a CT scan revealed a hypodensity implanted in the left lateral orbital wall, abutting and squeezing the left eye's globe with a displaced comminuted fracture. Due to the seriousness of the case, we performed an operation to remove a foreign body from the eye, which was incredibly difficult and precise. The CT scan the day following surgery indicated no foreign bodies, chemosis, or loss of ocular movement. The pupil was normal, the cornea was clear, and the anterior chamber was silent. No abnormalities were discovered during a dilated fundoscopy.
