Multiple Large Metallic Foreign Bodies In Left Intraorbital And Right Frontal Sinus Region

DEEPAK KUMAR SHARMA

Abstract


Intraorbital foreign bodies are frequently the result of high-velocity injuries with varying clinical presentations. The resultant diagnosis, management, and outcome depend on the type of foreign body present, anatomical location,  tissue disruption, and symptomatology. We report a patient who sustained accidental injury at his workplace while working on a printing press with multiple large metallic foreign bodies in left orbit and at right frontal sinus region.
