Wooden foreign body in orbit: Endoscopic removal

Orbital injuries with a foreign body may result in severe structural and functional damage to the eye or orbital contents. The clinical presentation of an orbital foreign body is variable. Management and prognosis depend on the composition, location of the object and presence or absence of secondary infection. Metallic objects and glass particle foreign bodies are the most frequently encountered and well-tolerated, whereas organic foreign bodies elicit an inflammatory reaction and lead to serious complications. Despite modern imaging methods, it is often difficult to identify and locate organic intraorbital foreign bodies. Surgical removal is mandatory to save vision and prevent sequelae. It is imperative to maintain a high index of suspicion in such cases to avoid misdiagnosis
