Abstract

Transorbital intracranial injuries due to a wooden foreign body traversing superior orbital fissure is an extremely rare condition. A 9-year-old boy was struck by a tree branch in the left eye while playing in the garden two months ago. On physical examination, the patient had only a hypertrophic scar on his medial side of left upper eyelid at the admission. A history of recurrent cutaneous fistula from the puncture site due to a retained foreign body was suspected, and the patient was hospitalized to evaluate and remove the object to prevent severe infection. Afterwards, the child was operated successfully via the left transcranial route to detect and remove the foreign body. The authors described an unusual case of wooden foreign body that traversed the superior orbital fissure yet caused no deficit and was associated with no fracture. Even if symptoms are absent, removal of a wooden foreign body should be immediately performed to prevent sight-threatening and life- threatening complications.

Özet

Superior orbital fissürü kateden ağaç yabancı cismin neden olduğu transorbitokranial yaralanmalar oldukça nadirdir. Dokuz yaşında erkek çocuk bahçede oynarken, ağaç parçası sol gözüne batmıştır. Başvuru sırasında fizik muayenede yalnızca sol üst göz kapağı medial kısmında hipertrofik skar bulunmuştur. Yaralanma noktasından tekrarlayan fistülün bir yabancı cisim şüphesine neden olmasıyla, incelemek ve şiddetli bir enfeksiyonu önlemek amacıyla çıkartmak üzere hastaneye yatırılmıştır. Ardından, saptanan yabancı cismi çıkartmak için transkranial yol kullanılarak başarı ile opere edilmiştir. Yazarlar, superior orbital fissürü katederek defisite ve kırığa neden olmayan nadir bir tahta yabancı cisim olgusu tanımlamıştır. Semptom olmasa bile tahta yabacı cismin çıkarılması, görmeyi ve hayatı tehdit eden komplikasyonları önlemek için hemen gerçekleştirilmelidir.
