Unusual Penetrating Orbital Trauma by A Metallic Fork: A Case Report
Penetrating orbital trauma (POT) includes both high- and low-velocity injuries that can result in serious complications such as vision loss and globe rupture. It is estimated to account for 30% to 50% of all orbital injuries. Due to the complex anatomy involved, affecting visual function, potential brain injury, and facial aesthetics POT management requires a multidisciplinary approach. This report presents a case of POT caused by a metallic fork. The object was surgically removed, and the patient's postoperative condition was stable. Ophthalmologic evaluation revealed complete resolution of diplopia, with full restoration of ocular motility.
