    Abstract:
    Penetrating injury through the orbit with a retained intracranial wooden foreign body is rare. The authors report the case of a child with a juxtapontine brain abscess secondary to a retained foreign body. The pitfalls in diagnosis and the surgical management for removal of the wooden fragment and drainage of the abscess are discussed.
