Abstract
The aim of this study is to present the management of a patient with orbitocranial penetrating injury by a large foreign body. The case described in the article was taken from the work of the Regional Specialist Hospital No. 5 in Sosnowiec. The patient was hit by a fragment broken off a lawnmower blade. The patient was transported to a district Hospital in Raciborz by the emergency medical team . After performing basic imaging diagnostics and temporary surgical management at another unit, the patient was transported to a multispecialty center for further treatment, where the surgical treatment was applied. A foreign body embedded in the craniofacial region penetrating the orbit and bordering the anterior cranial fossa constitutes a challenging case requiring the cooperation of a team composed of neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, ophthalmologists, maxillofacial surgeons. The treatment of the patient should be preceded by a thorough analysis of imaging studies.
