A retained orbital foreign body, identified as a decidual leaf, caused delayed proptosis and diplopia. Its remarkable preservation, with surviving bacteria, highlights plant cell wall properties.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pathology
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Orbital foreign bodies can lead to delayed complications.
  • Accurate diagnosis requires advanced imaging and histopathology.

Observation:

  • A 34-year-old male presented with delayed proptosis and diplopia after ocular trauma.
  • Imaging revealed a cystic mass containing a foreign body.
  • Histopathology identified a decidual leaf with gram-positive cocci.

Findings:

  • The foreign body was a decidual leaf with intact plant cell walls.
  • Gram-positive cocci were observed within the leaf structure.
  • Immunoglobulin G traces were found in superficial cells.

Implications:

  • Plant cell walls, rich in cellulose, may preserve foreign bodies and associated microorganisms.
  • Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for managing retained orbital foreign bodies.
  • This case underscores the importance of thorough investigation for persistent orbital symptoms.
