Oculo Adnexal Trauma by Hook and Extraction under Infra Orbital Block: A Case Report from the Thies Regional Hospital Center

Abstract

Ocular and or adnexal trauma is a frequent reason for consultation in rural areas. The context in which it occurs and the nature of the blunt or perforating object vary widely. The target population is heterogeneous, and the injuries sometimes alter the body image of patients, who end up adopting a fatalistic attitude. An exhaustive review of the epidemiological aspects of these injuries remains a challenge, especially in rural areas. We report a case of oculo adnexal trauma caused by a fish hook in a fisherman; extraction was performed via a cutaneous approach under the infra-orbital block.
