Abstract
Loss of vision in conjuncƟ on with intraorbital foreign bodies is largely a result of the iniƟ al trauma. We aim to report an unusual orbital injury in which a fl at, sharp and pointed metallic foreign body (Blade of scissors around 8 cm in length) traversed within the periosteum of orbital fl oor diagonally entering at its anteriomedial aspect and going posteriorly & laterally up to inferior margin of lateral orbital wall. CT scan showed that there was no ocular damage and extra ocular muscles & opƟ c nerve were also not injured. Management strategy is discussed in the report. Ocular movements were normal postoperaƟ vely and paƟ ent had a fi nal visual outcome of 6/6. Del J Ophthalmol 2012;23(4):281-283.
