Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of orbital foreign bodies (2021)

Abstract

In addition to mechanical injury and secondary infection, long-term retention of orbital foreign bodies can cause inflammation, foreign body granuloma and fistula formation, affecting the appearance and visual function of patients. Trans-orbital craniocerebral foreign bodies can cause severe complications such as craniocerebral injury and intracranial infection. The Oculoplastic and Orbital Disease Group of Chinese Ophthalmological Society of Chinese Medical Association has formed the expert consensus on tissue injury, imaging examinations, diagnosis and treatment of orbital foreign bodies, hoping to provide the reference for clinical work and to standardize and improve the diagnosis and treatment of intraorbital foreign bodies.
