Abstract

Low-velocity orbital penetrating injuries may result in an intracranial retained foreign body that requires surgical removal. We describe the endoscopic transorbital removal of a retained umbrella tip in the frontal lobe, which was secondary to trauma to the orbital roof. This technique facilitated the complete removal of the foreign body without causing additional damage to the surrounding tissue. The patient had a successful postoperative recovery. We also discuss the utility of the transorbital neuroendoscopic procedure in managing these traumatic injuries.
