A 75-year-old immunocompetent male presented with a right orbital cellulitis after a foreign body penetrating injury. He was taken for orbitotomy with foreign body removal and started on broad-spectrum antibiotics. Intra-operative cultures were positive for Cladophialophora bantiana, a mold known for causing brain abscesses with no prior reports of orbital invasion in the literature. Following culture results, the patient was managed with voriconazole and required multiple orbitotomies and washouts for infection control.
