  • Title: Intraorbital Graphite Foreign Body With a Delayed Presentation of Optic Neuropathy.
    Author: Liaboe CA, Mehta VJ, Harrison AR, Mokhtarzadeh A.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Plast Reconstr Surg; 2020; 36(4):e86-e87. PubMed ID: 31990893.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic penetrating injuries to the orbit from pencils, while uncommon, have a plethora of presentations, both acute and delayed. With the most incidents occurring in the pediatric population where obtaining a detailed history is difficult, the ability to effectively evaluate and diagnose these injuries is cumbersome, yet important. The authors report a patient who presented with optic neuropathy, blepharoptosis, and strabismus 10 months after an orbital injury with pencil graphite.
