Abstract. Purpose:To report a case of deep-seated orbital foreign body. Case:A 72-year-old male felt a foreign body sensation while mowing the weed with an electric mower. He visited us the following day for pain, lacrimation and discharge. Findings:Corrected visual acuity was 0.7 right and 0.1 left. The right eye showed hyperemia. The anterior chamber appeared normal. Computed tomography(CT)showed a foreign body adjacent to the eyeglobe. No foreign body was located after opening the conjunctiva. Another session of CT showed a foreign body superior-temporal to the eyeglobe along the equator. Opening the conjunctiva under general anesthesia led to the detection of numerous foreign bodies simulating burs of a plant. Removal of burs was followed by clinical cure. Conclusion:Burs of a plant may be difficult to identify by simple CT imaging. Use of metal piece may be useful as a guide in localization.
