Children usually manifest with FB granulomas that develop due to inoculation of FBs from soft toys, blankets or woollen clothes. Encapsu- lation of these FBs following a granulomatous inflammatory response results in a nodular swelling in the conjunctiva. Reports of a wooden FB granuloma in the conjunctiva in children are anecdotal. A 5-year-old boy suffered an un- witnessed direct ocular trauma to his left eye (OS) with a wooden arrow while playing. He developed redness and nodular swelling at the inferotemporal aspect of the OS without any visual complaints. The diagnosis of a wooden FB granuloma is a challenge to ophthalmologists and may go undetected in children who neglect their symptoms. It characteristically presents as a unilateral conjunctival nodule. Surgical excision is the definitive management. However, spontaneous extrusion of the FB might be observed due to protective blinking and tearing mechanisms in the eye.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.25259\/nmji_562_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,14]],"date-time":"2024-03-14T10:57:57Z","timestamp":1710413877000},"page":"231-232","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Spontaneous resolution of a wooden foreign-body granuloma in the conjunctiva of a child"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"SIDDHARTH","family":"MADAN","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"SARITA","family":"BERI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"NISHANT","family":"YADAV","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/NMJI_562_20\/ref-1","first-page":"179","article-title":"Intraorbital foreign body","volume":"119","author":"Turliuc","year":"2015","journal-title":"Rev Med Chir Soc Med Nat Iasi"},{"key":"10.25259\/NMJI_562_20\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-1947-6-91","article-title":"Peri-orbital foreign body: A case report","volume":"6","author":"Moretti","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Med Case Rep"},{"key":"10.25259\/NMJI_562_20\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"219","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.IJO_569_19","article-title":"An unusual case of orbitocranial wooden foreign body with amazing outcome: A case report","volume":"68","author":"Mohapatra","year":"2020","journal-title":"Indian J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"10.25259\/NMJI_562_20\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"427","DOI":"10.1016\/0090-3019(81)90235-4","article-title":"Intracranial pencil injuries","volume":"16","author":"Bursick","year":"1981","journal-title":"Surg Neurol"},{"key":"10.25259\/NMJI_562_20\/ref-5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1517","DOI":"10.1038\/eye.2016.155","article-title":"Unusual ocular presentations of ocular phaeohyphomycosis","volume":"30","author":"Maudgil","year":"2016","journal-title":"Eye (Lond)"},{"key":"10.25259\/NMJI_562_20\/ref-6","first-page":"70","article-title":"Retention of wooden foreign bodies in the orbit","volume":"15","author":"Brock","year":"1980","journal-title":"Can J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"10.25259\/NMJI_562_20\/ref-7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1510","DOI":"10.4103\/ijo.IJO_1878_18","article-title":"A challenging case of a large orbitocranial wooden foreign body in a child","volume":"67","author":"Dudani","year":"2019","journal-title":"Indian J Ophthalmol"},{"key":"10.25259\/NMJI_562_20\/ref-8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1295","DOI":"10.1007\/s00701-009-0418-y","article-title":"Removal of a chopstick out of the cavernous sinus, pons, and cerebellar vermis through the superior orbital fissure","volume":"151","author":"Mitilian","year":"2009","journal-title":"Acta Neurochir (Wien)"},{"key":"10.25259\/NMJI_562_20\/ref-9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"76","DOI":"10.1186\/s12893-019-0536-2","article-title":"An unusual case of intra orbital foreign body; diagnosis, management, and outcome: A case report","volume":"19","author":"Mirzaei","year":"2019","journal-title":"BMC Surg"},{"key":"10.25259\/NMJI_562_20\/ref-10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"128","DOI":"10.3341\/kjo.1999.13.2.128","article-title":"Orbitocranial injury caused by wood","volume":"13","author":"Lee","year":"1999","journal-title":"Korean J Ophthalmol"}],"container-title":["The National Medical Journal of India"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/nmji.in\/spontaneous-resolution-of-a-wooden-foreign-body-granuloma-in-the-conjunctiva-of-a-child\/","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/nmji.in\/spontaneous-resolution-of-a-wooden-foreign-body-granuloma-in-the-conjunctiva-of-a-child\/","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,14]],"date-time":"2024-03-14T10:58:00Z","timestamp":1710413880000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/nmji.in\/spontaneous-resolution-of-a-wooden-foreign-body-granuloma-in-the-conjunctiva-of-a-child\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,11]]},"references-count":10,"alternative-id":["10.25259\/NMJI_562_20"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/nmji_562_20","relation":{},"ISSN":["2583-150X","0970-258X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2583-150X","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0970-258X","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,11]]},"article-number":"231"}}
