Abstract

Purpose: The present study aims to describe a case study of large penetrating orbital trauma and treatment guidelines associated with a review of English-language literature of large foreign bodies impacting the orbit from 1997 to 2020. Patients and Methods: Five patients suffered large penetrating orbital trauma and required emergency surgical procedures. Results: Together with this present study, a total of 33 cases were selected. The present work has data similar to the literature, and emergency surgical treatment was required in the majority of the cases. Conclusion: Penetrating orbital trauma by large objects is a challenge. The initial assessment and treatment are fundamental to determine the case severity. The large foreign body should be surgically removed by a trained and experienced team in an advanced hospital unit as soon as possible to minimize visual, functional and aesthetic sequelae.
