ABSTRACT
A 9-year-old female patient is referred to Octavio de la Concepción de la Pedraja Children's University Hospital in Holguín with a presumptive diagnosis of left orbital cellulitis. The patient has an antecedent of ipsilateral ocular trauma by a wooden object one year before, which resulted in visual acuity reduction in the left eye. Ophthalmological examination revealed edema and purulent secretion along a fistulous tract in the lower eyelid. Suspicion of the presence of a plant foreign body leads to performance of echography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and orbits. It is decided to apply an extradural pterional approach and a wooden fragment is extracted. Antibiotic therapy is indicated and secretion disappears 48 hours after surgery. The patient's evolution has been favorable. Eye trauma is common, but the presence of intraorbital foreign bodies is a rare event that triggers a local inflammatory process whose magnitude will depend on its nature. Imaging studies are indispensable for diagnosis and surgical planning.REFERENCES
