    IntroductionForeign intraorbital bodies are rare. Their clinical manifestation is usually late.Clinical Case    We report a case of 32 years-old man presenting an old vegetal foreign intraorbital body. The orbitotomy allowed its extraction with favorable result.DiscussionVegetal foreign intraorbital bodies have clinical aspects. The latency between the trauma and the onset of symptoms is variable. Radiological examination can identify exactly the size and location. Surgical removal is often necessary but can expose to major risks.ConclusionThe diagnosis of ignored intraorbital foreign body remains difficult. The management should be early in order to avoid severe functional consequences.
