Opacity in orbital X‐ray

X‐ray interpretation is a fundamental skill in emergency practice. Post‐operative eyes with implants may sometimes pose clinical challenges on post‐traumatic event diagnosis and differentiation from organ wasting. Recommended by authorities and guidelines, computed tomography is indicated for evaluation of head injury cases, yet incidental abnormal findings such as radiopacity in the eyeball might create dilemma to diagnosis. History taking and clinical examinations are essential for the interpretation of the radiopacity in orbital imaging. Subtle and uncommon radiological findings of the eye will be discussed.
