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.
