Intraorbital Foreign Body

Topic outline

• 

  Grand Rounds

  A patient presented with right eye redness, swelling, and diplopia for 6 weeks after a dirt bike accident, where his right eye hit a tree branch. He underwent imaging and evaluation at an outside institution which revealed orbital fractures, but no evidence of an orbital foreign body. His symptoms worsened over 6 weeks until he presented to Bascom Palmer. He underwent repeat CT scan which revealed a large, intraorbital foreign body, about 6 cm in length. He underwent orbital exploration which revealed multiple pieces of wood in the orbit. All pieces were removed without complication, and the patient’s symptoms resolved.
