Abstract
Retaining orbital foreign body produces devastating consequences, particularly when there is central nervous system involvement. A case is presented of a retained orbital foreign body that presented through the superior orbital fissure and caused recurrent brain abscesses and hydrocephalus. Clinical and x-ray evidence of foreign body has been reviewed and the management of these injuries discussed.Keywords
