“…6 Since wood is an organic material with low density, plain radiographs are almost unable to detect their pres ence in soft tissues and an ultrasound is the best imaging modality for detec tion of suspected wooden foreign bodies in soft tissues. 4,5,7,8 However, when wood induces calcification, it can be detected by conventional radiographic exams as in the reported case. On the other hand, the toothpick fragment could only be observed by macroscopic or microscopi cal analyses.…”

“…Infection is more frequent, however, and sometimes wood may also lead to an aseptic foreign body reaction. 4,5 Both types of inflammation demand complete surgical removal of the retained foreign body in order to cure the symptoms. 5 Foreign bodies often incite a chronic inflammatory reaction with the depo sition of mineral salts, similar to other types of calculi formation such as sialo lithiasis, rhinolith and tonsillolith.…”

“…Approximately all foreign bodies are initially missed. In case of wooden foreign body only 15% are well visualized on plain radiographs and are therefore often missed or misdiagnosed [1]. Foreign bodies may be ingested or embedded into the body due to traumatic or iatrogenic injury [2].…”

Foreign bodies can penetrate soft tissues through open wounds, lacerations or through accidents iatrogenically. Among the commonly encountered foreign bodies encountered due to trauma are of glass, metal and wood in nature. We report a case of a 32 year old male who reported to our clinic, complaining of a small wound in the right upper cheek region intraorally since 1 month. Patient had a history of road traffic accident (RTA) 6 months back.

Key Clinical MessageWooden foreign bodies inside the eye socket are an uncommon kind of eye injury that falls into a distinct category of intraorbital foreign bodies. Due to the wide range of clinical presentations and imaging features of intraorbital wooden foreign bodies, misinterpretation and failure to diagnose correctly often happen.AbstractWooden foreign bodies inside the eye socket are an uncommon kind of eye injury that falls into a distinct category of intraorbital foreign bodies. The condition mostly manifested in individuals of youthful and middle age. Due to the wide range of clinical presentations and imaging features of intraorbital wooden foreign bodies, misinterpretation and failure to diagnose correctly often happen during the first examination. The risk of orbital infection might greatly rise if there is a delay in diagnosing woody foreign substances inside the eye socket. The majority of patients need surgical intervention as the recommended course of therapy. Nevertheless, it is essential to avoid disregarding undetected diagnoses and the existence of foreign material remnants after prior surgical procedures. Hence, achieving a precise diagnosis relies on a comprehensive assessment of the patient's trauma history, meticulous examination of the eyes, vigilant monitoring of clinical symptoms, accurate imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computerized tomography (CT), and prompt and thorough removal of wooden foreign objects within the eye socket.
