Abstract

Intraorbital foreign bodies can be metallic, non metallic and organic in their composition. Organic foreign bodies especially wooden, can act as a nidus of infection if left in situ. The diagnosis of a wooden foreign body is quite difficult radiologically because of their radiolucent nature so, they require high degree of suspicion. We report this case of a patient who presented with non healing persistent discharging sinus from left eye lateral part of the upper lid just above the eye lid margin following trivial trauma 6 months back. Based on the clinical evaluation and radiological evidence we made a diagnosis of retained wooden intraorbital foreign body. LE orbit surgical exploration and removal of wooden foreign body was done and the patient responded well postoperatively.
