Stab in the face
Today we bring a case that surpasses any concept of "luck": this patient carried a stab in the face, and the blade penetrated the medial face of the orbit, but without causing major damage to the patient's eyes. The knife was removed, the patient was sutured and continues to see well! Transorbital penetrating injuries are dangerous as the walls of orbit are very thin, hence easily broken by the otherwise innocent objects. Because of the very critical anatomical area involved, these injuries pose a serious challenge to the treating team and are often associated with serious complications and delayed sequel. Prompt evaluation by utilizing best diagnostic modality available and timely interference to remove them are the key aspects to avoid damage to vital organs surrounding the injury and to minimize the late complications.
Yes, i agree with you but the orbital that is made of a combinasion of the frontal, sphenoid and zygomatic bones formed a kind of antero-post cone. So, it looks like the knife is really really close to the brain maybe. To be sure of no damage to the brain, there has to be a bone fracture , so without it its hard to tell
There's the sphenoid bone between the eyes and the brain, so the lnife could have been stop by the bones
