purpose : to evaluate the accuracy of ocular sonography in measurement of size of intraocular foreign bodies (iofb) methods : in a case series study, 58 consecutive patients with intraocular foreign body were included. ocular sonography was performed to detect intraocular foreign body and the results were compared with the same intraoperative findings. results : metallic material was found to b...

BACKGROUND/AIM In cases of blurred optic media the ultrasound diagnostics offers useful data about eventual presence of intraocular foreign body as well as about its precise localization in the eye. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze echographic findings in patients with the diagnosis of intraocular foreign body with a special interest in localizations of a intraocular foreign...

We report a patient with clinical ocular siderosis at the time of presentation but undetectable intraocular foreign body on computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography. A 24-year-old man suffered from right ocular injury when hammering metal on metal. Slit-lamp examination revealed a small corneal perforating wound and an iris hole, but no intraocular foreign body was found under fundus examin...

AIM To analyze the outcome of combined clear cornea phacoemulsification, vitrectomy, foreign body extraction, and intraocular lens implantation in patients with traumatic cataract and intraocular foreign body. METHODS Retrospective analysis included the results of combined cataract and vitreoretinal surgery in 16 patients. All patients had a penetrating eye injury, traumatic cataract, and int...

Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) were 16-40% of open globe trauma and could cause severe visual loss. Therefore, they require immediate diagnosis treatment. This is a case an 18-year-old man who came to the hospital complaining metal piercing in his left eye while cutting some about 2 hours before entering hospital. On ophthalmologic examination, acuity was 3/60, full-thickness laceration cor...

Background: Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) such as air gun pellet is a rare finding in wild animals like Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). The purpose of the present scientific report is to describe the surgical retrieval of IOFB secondary to ballistic wound in a wild Rhesus macaque. Case description: A juvenile female wild Rhesus macaque was brought with the history of swollen and inflamed ...

We report a rare case of lens siderosis with an undetectable intraocular foreign body by imaging. An 8-year-old boy presented with diminution of vision in the left eye since 3 months. His parents gave a preceding uncertain history of a foreign body injury to his left eye 3 months ago while playing. Presenting visual acuity in the left eye was perception of hand movements. Slit-lamp examination ...

PURPOSE To introduce a new method for removal of a giant nonmagnetic intraocular foreign body using micro alligator forceps. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eleven patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy. The micro alligator forceps were used to grasp and extract the giant nonmagnetic intraocular foreign body through a sclerocorneal tunnel. RESULTS All patients underwent surgical remov...

We describe a new technique for removing a large intraocular foreign body by 25-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery (25G-MIVS). Noncomparative interventional case series were performed at a single centre. Two patients with a long smooth intraocular vitreal foreign body underwent phacoemulsification and aspiration, intraocular lens implantation, 25G-MIVS, and extraction of the foreign body. T...
