Image guidance removal of a foreign body in the orbital apex

Orbit. 2009;28(6):404-7. doi: 10.3109/01676830903074087.

Abstract

Retrieval of foreign bodies lodged in the orbit present a challenging surgical problem. The trans-nasal approach when combined with image-guided navigation allows clear identification of structures and increased safety. We report a case of a successful removal of a foreign body under image-guidance using a trans-nasal approach.
