“…The evaluation of a penetrating eye injury should be performed by a multidisciplinary team, as multiple regions of the head and neck are frequently involved [1,3]. Imaging with CT scans are vital in assessment of the injury to determine the path of the wound, and to identify vascular injury [1,3,4,7].…”

“…Imaging with CT scans are vital in assessment of the injury to determine the path of the wound, and to identify vascular injury [1,3,4,7]. There have been several reports where there was successful removal of the foreign body via the entrance wound [1,2,7]. This was only performed after careful dissection and identification of important structures, and after confirming the absence of significant vascular injury [2,4,5].…”

A 38-year-old man presented to a regional Western Australian hospital after being stabbed in his left eye with a knife. Computerized Tomography (CT) revealed a 7 cm knife blade within the globe extending along the skull base. After transfer to a tertiary hospital, a cerebral angiogram was performed, excluding significant cerebral vascular involvement. Through a multidisciplinary approach with the otolaryngology and ophthalmology teams, the knife was removed without incident. The patient made a good post operative recovery and visual acuity continued to improve on follow-up appointments.

“…Low energy POT should be distinguished from high energy injuries. Low energy POT, even with large foreign bodies, tends to exit the orbit by penetrating the orbital floor into the maxillary sinus 1 . This may be a way in which the globe and vital sense of sight is protected, even if there is widespread bony disruption.…”

“…Another case with apparent orbital injury left the globe intact but resulted in pontine injury with associated one‐and‐a‐half syndrome 3 . There have also been cases of transorbital injury that preserved the globe and did not cause damage to the brain or major blood vessels 4–7 . In these cases, however, the patients showed clear ocular signs and symptoms of trauma.…”
