Abstract
Intra-orbital wooden foreign bodies (IOFB) are always a diagnostic challenge. Those are entered by unmarked trivial injuries, as in our case, may become even more difficult, and maybe notorious and remain quiescent for a long time, before presenting with a variety of complications. It may lead to a more diagnostic dilemma, which can especially occur with wooden foreign bodies (FB) due to the variable nature of radio-imaging. The lack of clinical suspicion may lead to a series of errors both in diagnosis and management, subjecting the patient to unnecessary intervention. In this case report, we will describe a missed wooden foreign body that, after a long quiescent period, presented as an intra-orbital mass.Entities:
