Ethmoid and sphenoid foreign bodies are rare and tend to present with chronic symptoms due to delayed diagnosis. We present a case of an acute presentation of a foreign body involving the orbit and ethmoid sinus in a 12-year-old male.

The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...
