Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Ballistics

Background:

  • Orbito-palpebral ballistic injuries are common, frequently caused by firearms.
  • Surgical management of intra-orbital foreign bodies is often complex.
  • Anteriorly impacted foreign bodies pose particular surgical difficulties.

Observation:

  • A case of orbital trauma caused by a rocket splinter is presented.
  • The foreign body was lodged within the orbit.
  • The splinter was impacted in the anterior portion of the orbit.

Findings:

  • Excision of the intra-orbital foreign body was successfully achieved.
  • The removal was performed through the original entry orifice.
  • This approach facilitated the management of the impacted splinter.

Implications:

  • This technique offers a potential solution for managing certain intra-orbital foreign bodies.
  • Minimally invasive removal via the entry orifice may reduce surgical morbidity.
  • Further studies could explore the applicability of this method in similar ballistic injuries.
