Foreign body masquerading as a ruptured globe.

Low density orbital foreign bodies may not be detected on plain x-ray. In this case, a large anterior orbital foreign body was seen by examiners, but was misinterpreted as a ruptured globe. This misdiagnosis was supported by conventional x-rays which failed to show the object. It was later easily visualized on CT scan.
