Abstract

Foreign bodies lodged in the intraconal space of the orbit pose a surgical challenge due to its deep location behind the globe. Image-guided endoscopic transnasal surgery facilitates the localization of the metallic foreign bodies and enables its safe removal with minimal surrounding tissue damage and optic nerve injury.

Keywords: Endonasal; endoscopic surgery; foreign body; image-guided surgery; intraconal; orbit; transnasal.
