ABSTRACT

The case report of a 11 years child is described, coming from a Timor Oriental district who suffered from a trauma in the right eye when falling from a tree and a fragment of branch was introduced in the orbit of that eye, reason why he was transferred as an emergency to "Guido Valadares" of Dili National Hospital, where he was admitted and it was decided to operate immediately to extract the strange intraorbitary body--which measured 10,5 cm--. The patient had a good general clinical course and a visual acuity of 6/18 in the damaged eye, so by the fifth day he was discharged from the hospital.
