Wooden foreign bodies in the orbit are rare but require prompt surgical removal to prevent complications. This case highlights successful removal of an intraorbital wooden foreign body using a nasal endoscope.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Otorhinolaryngology
- Trauma Surgery
Background:
- Intraorbital wooden foreign bodies are infrequent occurrences in patients presenting with orbital trauma.
- Delayed or incomplete removal can lead to severe complications, including infection and vision loss.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a unique case of intraorbital wooden foreign body.
- To demonstrate the efficacy of nasal endoscopy in the surgical management of such cases.
Main Methods:
- A case of intraorbital wooden foreign body was identified.
- Surgical removal was performed using a nasal endoscope, allowing for minimally invasive access and visualization.
Main Results:
- Complete and successful surgical removal of the intraorbital wooden foreign body was achieved.
- The patient experienced no significant immediate post-operative complications.
Conclusions:
- Nasal endoscopy is a viable and effective technique for the removal of intraorbital wooden foreign bodies.
- Early and complete removal is crucial for optimal patient outcomes in cases of orbital trauma with foreign bodies.
