Abstract
- Computed tomography revealed variable sized small areas of extremely low attenuation in the right orbit of a45-year-old woman who had fallen face down. The appearance and attenuation of the areas suggested air, but on widewindow-width images attenuation was seen to be higher than that of sinus air. We report a case involvingintraorbital wood foreign bodies which on CT mimicked the appearance of air and which were surgically removed.
