Overview

Case report demonstrates successful extraction of a retained naso-orbital wooden foreign body in a young male, highlighting the need to navigate diagnostic imaging pitfalls.

Key Points

  • To describe the diagnostic challenges and multidisciplinary surgical management of a retained wooden foreign body embedded in the naso-orbital complex following trauma.
  • Clinical assessment and dedicated radiologic evaluation were conducted on a young male presenting with pain and visual disturbance following facial trauma.
  • A tailored surgical plan was formulated and executed through a multidisciplinary intervention alongside targeted antimicrobial coverage.
  • Detailed diagnostic imaging successfully identified the organic foreign body within the naso-orbital complex despite common radiologic visualization pitfalls.
  • Complete surgical removal was achieved without complications, preventing severe infectious sequelae associated with retained organic material.
