What did doctors find?

According to Son Dakika, CT imaging identified a tooth in the upper part of the left eye socket. It was surgically removed, and the patient was reported to be well.

Scientific background

The case matches the Ophthalmology publication “Ectopic Canine Tooth in the Superior Orbit”. Ectopic describes a tooth developing outside its usual position. The reported claim of a first concerns doctors’ assessment of this upper-orbit location, not ectopic teeth in general.
