Abstract
Introduction. An orbital foreign body, especially of an organic nature, is often difficult to diagnose during the initial examination. A thorough history taking, clinical examination, and the use of additional imaging techniques are of great importance. Due to the risk of purulent-inflammatory complications, foreign bodies must be surgically removed.The aim of the work was to demonstrate the importance of timely diagnosis and complex approach to treatment of patients with X-ray non-contrast foreign bodies of the orbit using the example of clinical observation.Materials and methods. Patient R. came in with complaints of redness, pain, lacrimation and lack of vision in the left eye after falling and hitting the left side of his face on a metal corner. Left eye visual acuity = 1/∞PrLinc, IOP = T−3 (palpatory).Results. Control X-ray computed tomography (CT) of the orbits and paranasal sinuses (PNS) suspected the presence of a radiopaque foreign body. A rhinoendoscopic examination was performed by an otorhinolaryngologist and a fragment of a large wooden foreign body was found in the nasopharyngeal arch. Surgeons of the ophthalmologic and otorhinolaryngologic departments performed surgery: removal of the foreign body, endonasal endoscopic opening of the labyrinth on the left, endoscopic endonasal maxillary sinus maxillary sinus maxillotomy on the left, left microcoidectomy, resection of trauma-exposed tissue. During his stay in the 2nd Ophthalmologic Department of the Regional Clinical Hospital named after N.A. Semashko. N.A. Semashko Regional Clinical Hospital, the patient’s condition improved, infection was eliminated, prevention of possible complications was carried out. The patient was referred to the Pirogov National Medical-Surgical Center, where the following surgery was performed: microinvasive vitrectomy + FEC + PFOS + retinotomy + endotamponade with silicone oil 1300 of the left eye, and a consultation with a laser surgeon was recommended for laser iridectomy.Discussion The clinical case considers a comprehensive approach to the treatment of intraorbital foreign bodies, the participation of a multidisciplinary team of specialists, while the patient still has a long road to rehabilitation.Conclusion In orbital trauma with penetration of a foreign body, an accurate history, timely diagnosis, and rational surgical and conservative treatment are important. This will help to avoid serious complications and prevent visual and oculomotor disorders of the visual organ.
