| description | Orbital foreign bodies remain a serious diagnostic problem, despite development of diagnostic imaging techniques. Non-metallic orbital
foreign body will not be detected in routine x-ray. Here we are presenting a case of 32-year-old male presented with acute pain in left eye
immediately after he had been pounding a metal object with a metal chisel. Following this event patient develop blurring of vision in left
eye with tearing. Patient’s vision in left eye was found to be hand motion with conjunctiva mildly injected, left corneal central 1 mm Seidelnegative full-thickness laceration and dense traumatic cataract was seen on ocular examination. Dilated fundus examination of left eye
was not possible due to traumatic cataract. Vitreous hemorrhage, vitreous detachment and a echogenic foreign body present in posterior
segment in B–Scan sonography. Well-defied hyperdense foreign body producing streak artifacts with vitreous hemorrhage was seen in the
posterior chamber of left eyeball in CT orbit. The patient was diagnosed with a corneal laceration, traumatic cataract, vitreous hemorrhage
and a metallic intraocular foreign body. He was brought to the operating room urgently for corneal laceration repair, pars plana vitrectomy,
lensectomy, and removal of the metallic intraocular foreign body done. |
