Introduction: Impacted foreign bodies in the complex maxillofacial region is uncommon and their safe removal is a challenge.
Case Presentation: The authors report an unusual case of a 41 year old male patient who suffered from violence-related orbital trauma with a knife. The presence of this foreign body was not diagnosed for a period of 20 months. After proper clinical and radiologic examination it was localized and extracted in the theater in a safe controlled manner. Although the tip of the blade was left in situ, the patient had a rapid uneventful recovery and follow up.
Discussion: The path of penetration of the foreign body in presented case didn't follow the predicted patterns of orbital injury described in literature. A dilemma exists as to how aggressive such injuries should be managed. Thus the surgical approach implemented for retrieving the current foreign body was highlighted.
Conclusion: Radiographs are a crucial element for early diagnosis and proper management of foreign body injuries. Rapid postoperative recovery can be achieved with simple safe surgical retrieval maneuvers.

Purpose Of The Review: In recent years, Berger's space (BS), the potential space between the posterior lens capsule and the anterior hyaloid membrane, has received little attention from the ophthalmic clinical community. This is primarily due to the limited documentation, with only a few isolated case reports detailing foreign bodies in this area.
Recent Findings: Recent advances in medical imaging technology have enabled the visualization of the BS under various circumstances.
Introduction: This case report describes a rare instance of small bowel obstruction (SBO) caused by the ingestion of a whole Shine-Muscat grape in a 7-month-old infant. This case adds to the scientific literature by highlighting the potential risk of common fruits, such as grapes, in causing serious gastrointestinal blockages in pediatric patients, which is an uncommon but important consideration for pediatricians and caregivers.
Main Symptoms And Clinical Findings: A 7-month-old female presented with a 3-day history of vomiting, which progressed to bilious vomiting, accompanied by abdominal distension and dehydration.
