The authors report a unique case of a broken motorbike handle that presented as a bilateral orbital foreign body. A 30-year-old male sustained an injury to the right side of his face when he skidded from his motorbike while riding. He had bilateral sudden loss of vision and presented to emergency services with bilateral proptosis, motility restriction, and a right lower eyelid laceration. CT scan revealed a 7-cm-long motorbike handle lodged in the retrobulbar space of both orbits, close to the cribriform plate. Left lateral orbitotomy was performed to remove the foreign body; the right eye regained normal vision and function. The unique features of this case include the nature of the foreign body, its bilateral location, its proximity to the optic nerve and cribriform plate, and the challenges in its removal. The clinical presentation and management is presented, along with the surgical video. |
