Upon initial exploration, a penetrating wooden foreign body was observed in the orbit at the inferomedial level with an anfractuous wound and palpebral laceration that made it impossible to open [Figure 1].

This body had an approximate length of 6 cm, being 5 cm inside the orbit and reaching the sinus [Figure 2].

Cleaning of the ocular bed was performed via careful removal of the fragments and the devitalized tissue [Figure 3].

CT examination was performed in which changes were observed due to foreign body removal with adequate mesh reconstruction [Figure 5]. Clinical follow-up proceeded without visible complications and maintenance of good stability from a functional and esthetic point of view for 6 months [Figure 6].
