Abstract
Intraocular or orbital foreign bodies when small or due to trivial trauma often go unnoticed or missed during examination especially a wooden foreign body. They can present as non-healing wounds and discharging fistulas with signs of chronic inflammation, cellulitis, foreign body granuloma or ocular complications such as corneal scars, traumatic cataract, hyphema, glaucoma, retinal tear and detachment. This case report highlights the importance of detailed history taking and proper diagnosis which plays an important role in the management of such cases.
