Optical coherence tomography- assisted localization of retained intraocular foreign body

Anterior segment optical coherence tomography and retained vegetal intraocular foreign body masquerading as chronic anterior uveitis

BACKGROUND The purpose of this single case report was to report the use of anterior segment optical coherence tomography for the diagnosis and management of a retained vegetal intraocular foreign body. RESULTS A 23-year-old otherwise healthy male presented with a progressive vision loss in the right eye (RE). He reported a mild ocular trauma with a tree leaf 1 year ago followed by recurrent e...

Overlooked retained intraocular foreign body.

INTRODUCTION The most common cause for litigation against ophthalmologists in a trauma case is a missed intraocular foreign body (IOFB). IOFBs cause internal eye damage, but some will come to rest in the posterior segment of the eye. CASE REPORT We presented a 57-year-old male who was referred to the ophthalmologist due to decreased visual acuity in his left eye. Slit lamp examination of his ...

Alternative method of intraocular foreign-body localization.

Anteroposterior (AP) and lateral films are obtained simultaneously, and superimposed on them is the shadow of a pair of cross wires representing the center of the pupil in the AP projection and the front surface of the cornea in the lateral projection . This is achieved by the use of a frame on which are mounted three sighting devices. Each sight is like a simple gunsight with two sets of cross...

Management of Penetrating Injuries with a Retained Intraocular Foreign Body

Retained intraocular iron foreign body presenting with acute retinal necrosis

We report an unusual case of retained metallic intraocular foreign body (IOFB) presenting with acute retinal necrosis (ARN). A healthy young man presented with signs of ARN including hypopyon, dense vitritis, and peripheral retinal necrosis following alleged history of trauma with a high-velocity projectile. After initial management of ARN with systemic antivirals, a retained metallic IOFB was ...
