dc.description.abstractIn literature, we can find many different types of objects causing eyelid injury. There is a variety of objects which is found in clinical scenarios and literature. The aim of the treating surgeon should be to remove of the foreign body making no or little damage to surrounding vital structures. This unique case report describes a penetrating type of lower eyelid injury that is inserted through the inner surface of the eyelid in an unusual manner. A 6-year-old child was admitted to the hospital with a lower eyelid metallic foreign body. Upon examination, anterior and posterior segments were found to be normal and so does the visual acuity. The metallic wire passed through the lower eyelid through the bulbar conjunctival side in the middle of the eyelid. The wire was stuck in such a manner; under topical anesthesia it could not be removed. The patient was put into general anesthesia and without cutting the adjacent structure it was removed by twitching manner following the curve of the wire. The wire had 270° of bending on it. Post-operative recovery was quick with not any residual structural damages. A severe eyelid injury with unusual site of penetration can be removed just by appropriate method without any structure defect and with a good outcome.en_US
