CORPS ETRANGER VEGETAL INTRA-ORBITAIRE : A PROPOS D’UN CAS

Foreign vegetative bodies of the orbit are rare. They are often missing read and they can lead to potentially serious orbital and intra skull complications. We report the case of a ten years old child suffering right orbital traumatism caused by a chip of wood. He has consulted the doctor a month later for orbital cellulitis associated with skin fistula. The scanner has shown a right orbital foreign body. The ablation orbitotomy earlier piece of wood with a suitable antibiotic treatment has allowed a clinical improvement with visual recovery. The notion of orbital traumatism as well as the inflammatory, secondary orbital syndrom should suspect the presence of a foreign intra-orbital body, urging complementary medical examinations.
