Identifying organic intraorbital foreign bodies can be challenging. Prompt surgical removal by an orbital surgeon is often safer than retention, even with equivocal imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Organic intraorbital foreign bodies pose diagnostic challenges despite advanced imaging.
  • Retention can lead to severe complications, yet removal is often debated.

Observation:

  • A case involving a retained intraorbital wooden foreign body is presented.
  • Initial imaging was equivocal, and the first surgical exploration was unsuccessful.

Findings:

  • A second surgical exploration successfully retrieved a large wooden foreign body from the inferior extraconal space.
  • The patient achieved full visual recovery (20/20).

Implications:

  • High clinical suspicion is crucial for managing intraorbital foreign bodies.

  • Careful patient evaluation and surgical strategy are key to successful outcomes.
  • Surgical exploration may be warranted and less risky than foreign body retention.
