Orbital wooden foreign bodies--a case report.

S M Betharia, H Kumar

    Indian Journal of Ophthalmology
    |July 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Multiple wooden foreign bodies in the orbit require thorough exploration. Surgical removal and adherence to management guidelines are crucial for successful outcomes in orbital foreign body cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Orbital foreign bodies, particularly organic materials like wood, pose diagnostic and management challenges.
    • A history of trauma and clinical signs such as a discharging sinus and osteomyelitis are key indicators for suspected orbital foreign bodies.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a discharging sinus and signs of osteomyelitis, suggesting a deep-seated orbital issue.
    • Diagnostic imaging likely revealed the presence of foreign material within the orbit.

    Findings:

    • Four pieces of arhar (pigeon pea) sticks, identified as wooden foreign bodies, were successfully removed.
    • The surgical approach involved an anterior orbitotomy for direct visualization and extraction.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of prompt and thorough orbital exploration in cases with suggestive clinical history and signs.
    • Adherence to established guidelines for managing wooden foreign bodies in the orbit is essential for preventing complications and ensuring favorable patient outcomes.
