Abstract
Intraorbital foreign bodies are not uncommon, and the outcome is not always satisfying after management. A 41-year-old male presented to the ER with a history of occupational trauma 30 minutes before presentation. On non-contrast CT, a 4 cm curved nail was visualized near the lateral orbital wall penetrating the zygomatic buttress with no evidence of retrobulbar haemorrhage or bulbus oculi perforation. Under coverage of proper antibiotics, the nail was removed using lateral eyebrow approach keeping the globe intact, and the wound was closed in layers. The injured eye demonstrated free range of movement postoperatively. The patient was then referred for retinal repair surgery. Early management and meticulous extraction can lead to satisfying outcomes even with large foreign bodies.
期刊介绍：
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing case reports and case series only which must be original, educational, rare conditions or findings, or clinically interesting to an international audience of surgeons and clinicians. Case series can be prospective or retrospective and examine the outcomes of management or mechanisms in more than one patient. Case reports may include new or modified methodology and treatment, uncommon findings, and mechanisms. All case reports and case series will be peer reviewed for acceptance for publication in the Journal.
