title: [A retrobulbar foreign body in a dog].
abstract: A 2-year-old dog was presented with a history of recurrent pain on opening its mouth. Clinical examination revealed conjunctivitis and chemosis of the left eye. Ultrasound examination of the eye revealed poor definition of the extra-ocular muscles. An orbitotomy was performed and a 50 mm-long silver of wood was removed from the retrobulbar tissues.
