Abstract :

This case report details a 38-year-old male who sustained significant orbital trauma after being struck by a wooden object. A CT scan initially raised concern for a possible rupture of the right eye (globe). However, during surgery, it was discovered that the injury involved an extraconal foreign body, while the eye itself remained intact. This case underscores the importance of a comprehensive clinical assessment and meticulous surgical exploration when dealing with complex orbital injuries.
