Perfluoro-n-octane mimicking an intraocular foreign body

چکیده
Retained intraocular foreign body (IOFB) is a major cause of visual loss following open globe injuries. Detecting the presence and accurate localization of IOFB in the setting of an open globe injury remains a challenge. There can be various mimics of intraocular IOFB on imaging including air, ocular calcifications, etc. Here, we describe a case of open globe injury wherein a retained perfluoro-n-octane bubble mimicked a retained intraocular foreign body.

Perfluoro-N-octane (PFO) is a heavy liquid that is used as an aid for complicated retinal surgical procedures. Although PFO is usually removed intraoperatively, the radiographic appearance of retained PFO may mimic an intraocular foreign body or vitreous hemorrhage. As the use of PFO in retinal procedures has become more widespread, recognition of its imaging appearance has become important in ...

متن کاملIraq-Iran War-related Intraocular Foreign Body Injuries in Veterans
According to military documents, the incidence of ocular injuries significantly increases. Intraocular foreign body (IOFB) is one of the ocular damages that seriously threats vision. Many ocular injuries occurred in a war between Iran and Iraq from 1980 to 1988. The aim of the present study was to review ocular damages made by IOFB in this war, different methods of treatment and their prognosis.
