Abstract
The article describes a casuistic case of a long asymptomatic stay of a giant foreign body in the orbit and of its removal. Immediately after the injury and at primary surgical treatment, the foreign body was not diagnosed. The patient did not have any complaints for a long time, then gradually there was a periodic double vision when looking straight ahead, a dense formation under the eyebrow began to be revealed by palpation. The foreign body was successfully removed almost a year after the injury.
