Orbital foreign body | Figure 1
Orbital foreign body
Sagittal CT shows a blunt foreign body (arrow) extending through the superior wall of the orbit. Air is present both within and above the foreign body. Orbital foreign bodies can lead to injury of the globe, cranial nerves, or intraocular muscles. In this patient, the foreign body extended through the wall of the orbit and into the cranial vault. Removal of the foreign body and repair of the orbital wall defect is needed to prevent infection.

Because of the depth of the laceration we ordered a Head and Face CT scan. The scan showed 1) Left lateral and inferior orbital wall fracture which was severely comminuted and communicates with the open environment - involved the zygoma, inferior orbital wall minimally displaced involving the infra orbital canal. Orbital emphysema, nil unjury to the globe. 2) Fracture of the zygomatic arch in two places and fracture of the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone extending into the articulat surface of the TMJ 3) No intracranial haemorrhage.
