Summary
A long-forgotten childhood crayon injury caused a severe orbital mass and vision loss in a 39-year-old woman. Surgical removal and corticosteroids failed to prevent progressive orbital fibrosis and reduced vision.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Pathology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Intraorbital foreign bodies, though rare, can lead to delayed complications.
- Orbital trauma in childhood may present with late-onset symptoms.
