Transorbital Penetrating Intracranial Injury (TOPI) is a rare case, but those caused by Wooden Foreign Body are even challenging that may pose unusual diagnostic and surgical challenges. METHODS we presented a TOPI following a wood penetrated to the left temporal fossa region via orbital roof due to struck the tree branches while got a motor vehicle accident. The patient was fully conscious with decreased visual acuity in the left eye and left ophthalmoplegia. Non-contrast CT scan showed the linear-shaped foreign body, air mimicking that penetrated medial orbit plane to the left temporal fossa. The surgery was performed with a temporobasal approach and revealed good results with only mild ophthalmologic complications without long-term fatal complications (1-year followed-up). CONCLUSIONS early removal of wooden foreign body that penetrates to the intracranial via transorbital is mandatory and should be involved multidisciplinary approach to get the optimal result and avoid the fatal complication both neurologically or ophthalmologically.
