Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Penetrating orbital injuries in children are rare but can lead to severe visual impairment.
  • Early and precise surgical intervention is crucial for managing such cases.

Observation:

  • A two-year-old child sustained an orbital injury from a broken pencil fragment.
  • The object penetrated the orbit above the eyeball (bulbus oculi).

Findings:

  • The pencil fragment was successfully removed through a two-stage surgical procedure.
  • Despite the orbital penetration, the child's ocular functions remained unaffected post-surgery.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates the efficacy of surgical management in preserving vision following penetrating orbital trauma.
  • It underscores the importance of timely intervention in pediatric ocular emergencies.
