Penetrating orbit cranial injuries are common in children. They are common in military practice, but they are extremely uncommon in civilian life. Accidental injuries are the most common type of injury in everyday life. They're usually caused by a high-velocity injury, such as a car accident and gunshot wound or an industrial accident, but also to a lesser extent. Trauma of a minor nature. Orbital foreign bodies are more common than terrestrial foreign bodies. Men are more likely than women to have this condition, and it is more common in men than in women. Rather than older people, y ounger people are preferred. They could lead to damage to the eye's structural and functional integrity other contents of orbits. The prognosis and management depending on the foreign country's composition and location body, as well as the possibility of secondary effects an infection. A 50-year-old Indian male presented to our hospital with an injury to the right side of his face received while working with an agricultural machine. A computed tomographic (CT) scan without contrast enhancement but with multiplanar reconstructions was used to augment cranial X-rays. The CT scan revealed a linear metallic foreign substance in the right parietal soft tissues (6 cm long,0.6 cm wide). This object crossed the lateral wall of the right orbit anteriorly, indicating a bone fracture, with small bone and metal pieces as well as air bubbles visible. The object was laterally located in the soft tissues over the zygomatic arch. The brain parenchyma did not show any significant changes. The ventricular system was in good working order, with a normal shape and size. An accurate and complete history, as well as a CT scan of the orbit, the imaging modality of choice for detection and localization of orbital foreign bodies, should be included in the management of orbital foreign bodies. Early diagnosis, followed by surgical exploration and extraction, if necessary, has a significant impact on the overall outcome and prognosis. Foreign body injuries in the orbital region can be treated with a combination of clinical suspicion, basic knowledge, and diagnostic tests, and they necessitate surgical skill and experience to reduce the risk of iatrogenic injury compared to the inherent risk of retaining an organic infraorbital foreign body.
