Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Orbital trauma can present with delayed complications.
  • Orbital cellulitis and cutaneous fistulas indicate a severe inflammatory response.

Observation:

  • A 12-year-old experienced left orbital trauma from wood, presenting 4 months later with orbital cellulitis and a cutaneous fistula.
  • CT imaging revealed a wood foreign body extending from the orbit into the ipsilateral cavernous sinus and intracranial space.

Findings:

  • Surgical extraction of the wood foreign body and antibiotic therapy resulted in clinical improvement.
  • Despite treatment, visual recovery was not achieved, highlighting the severity of the damage.

Implications:

  • Orbital trauma cases, especially with signs of inflammation, warrant high suspicion for retained foreign bodies.
  • Emergency imaging is essential for accurate diagnosis and timely management of orbital foreign bodies to prevent severe complications.
