Differential Diagnosis
Orbitocranial foreign bodies may result from occupational accidents, gunshot injuries, motor vehicle accidents, or be self-inflicted. Most foreign bodies are metallic, wooden, or glass. Occasionally, they might be missed on conventional imaging techniques such as plain X-ray or ultrasound. Thus a high index of suspicion and proper radiological studies such as CT scan or MRI should be performed in these cases.
