Their diagnosis and treatment could be challenging for an ophthalmologist, requiring us to remain alert for possible intracranial extension. We present a case of a 52-year-old man with a residual wooden foreign body in the left frontal lobe. He had a notable history of trauma from a fall on a tree stump and surgical removal of a wooden foreign body from his left orbit 6 years ago. He was referred to us due to recurrent discharge from the eyelid wound. Wooden foreign body residue was successfully removed with a carefully planned craniotomy without complications. This case describes the clinical manifestation, radiographic features, and treatment of this rare trauma, with an emphasis on imaging diagnosis and multi-disciplinary management.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina58121832","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,13]],"date-time":"2022-12-13T01:56:06Z","timestamp":1670896566000},"page":"1832","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A Rare Case of Orbitocranial Penetrating Injury with Intracranial Wooden Foreign Body Residue"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Yi","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No 37 Guoxue Street, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weimin","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No 37 Guoxue Street, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yiliu","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No 37 Guoxue Street, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1170-3927","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jun","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, No 37 Guoxue Street, Chengdu 610041, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"433","article-title":"Transorbital penetrating brain injury","volume":"20","author":"Kasamo","year":"1992","journal-title":"No Shinkei Geka"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","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.
