Overview

• Paramedics rushed the conscious 38-year-old to Coventry hospital with the 15cm wing lodged in his right eye.
• CT scans revealed the figurine had entered his sinus cavity but avoided any brain injury.
• A neurosurgeon, ENT specialist and ophthalmologist jointly removed the lodged wing in a single operation.
• He spent seven days in hospital receiving intravenous antibiotics and a tetanus vaccination under close observation.
• Post-operative scans found only a small bone defect and he is now in stable condition with right-eye vision at 6/60.
