Transorbital penetrating cranial injury is relatively unusual. It tends to take a direction into the orbital apex, with access to the cranial cavity and potential risk of cerebral lesion and mortality. We report a case of a 23-year-old man who fell nearby a construction site. Two metal foreign bodies penetrated the orbital region into the middle cranial fossa. A combined surgery between the ophthalmologists and the neurosurgeons was done for the removal of foreign bodies (FB). Patient had poor visual outcome but with no neurological deficit.
