Introduction: Asymptomatic traumatic intra-lenticular foreign body is very uncommon and few case reports have been published.Objective: To report a case of post-traumatic intra-lenticular foreign body and use of Scheimpflug imaging in its management. Case: A 41-year-old male with history of injury to right eye during hammering a chisel 1 year back presented with decreased vision since 6 months. An intra-lenticular foreign body was found on slit lamp bio-microscopy and was confrmed by Scheimpflug imaging. Posterior capsule was intact on Scheimpflug imaging. Thus, Scheimpflug imaging helps in exact localization of the foreign body in the intralenticular space or behind the iris. We ruled out other foreign bodies by x-ray and ultrasonography of the orbit. The foreign body with post-traumatic cataract was removed using phacoemulsification and three piece foldable intraocular lens was implanted in the bag. Conclusion: An intra- lenticular foreign body may remain asymptomatic for months. Scheimpflug imaging can be useful in its localization. It can be removed during phacoemulsification.

ABSTRACTInfratemporal fossa injuries are uncommon and often go undetected presenting later with complications. We present a case of an infratemporal fossa penetrating injury with a ball point spring following a vehicular accident. Post-traumatic trismus even following supposedly trivial injury in the area should raise suspicion of possible injury in this location.

Rectal foreign body insertion is a common condition in emergency surgery, which often requires surgical intervention. Here we report a clinical case of rectal foreign body insertion as a rare cause of persistent lumbosacral plexus injury. A 72-year-old man presented to the emergency department complaining of acute bilateral paraplegia with loss of sensation in both legs, as well as total urinary retention. The patient underwent abdominal computed tomography, which showed a rectal foreign body measuring 13 × 11.5 × 10 cm in the lower abdomen and pelvis. Extraluminal assistance through a median laparotomy was required after unsuccessful attempts at transanal recovery alone. After removal of the foreign body, the rectal wall and anorectal sphincter were massively dilated, with severe bruising of the rectal mucosa on proctoscopy. A protective loop-ileostomy was performed. The sacral plexus is located posteriorly in the pelvis. Physiologically, the nerves are well protected by surrounding anatomical structures. Post-traumatic lumbosacral plexus injuries with paraplegia, urinary retention and anorectal sphincter insufficiency occur quite frequently after heavy traffic accidents. Lumbosacral plexus injury as a result of rectal foreign body insertion is rare. Severe neurological deficits through rectal foreign body insertion are rare but known medical conditions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of severe and persistent post-traumatic lumbosacral plexus injury through a rectal foreign body.

Purpose. To study the clinical efficacy of the long-term results of a step-by-step method of surgical treatment of open eye trauma complicated by the presence of the intraocular foreign body (IFB) in the posterior segment, including primary surgical treatment (PST) and delayed vitreoretinal surgery with IFB extraction within 24 hours after PST. Material and methods. The clinical efficacy of delayed IFB removal within 2 years was studied in 32 eyes with open trauma of the eyeball complicated by the presence of IFB in the posterior segment. Concomitant traumatic complications included partial hemophthalmos (84.4%) and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) (59.4%). Results. By the end of 2 years of follow-up, the anatomical effect was observed in all examined 21 eyes, including 15 eyes (71.4%) with hemophthalmos and 13 eyes (61.9%) with traumatic retinal detachment. In this case, recurrence of RD occurred in 7 eyes, post-traumatic traction RD- in 3 eyes. Functional effect with improved visual acuity was in 12 eyes (57.1%). At the same time, the MCVA was 0.3±0.05 (0.15–0.5). Conclusion. The presented method made it possible to achieve a stable anatomical effect and stable functional results, even in the presence of severe trauma complicated by total hemophthalmos and retinal detachment, in the long term. Key words: open eyeball injury, intraocular foreign body, primary surgical treatment, transvitreal intraocular foreign body extraction, post-traumatic traction retinal detachment.

Introduction: Endophthalmitis following penetrating eye injuries has a poor prognosis and presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The aim of reporting this case was to identify the causative organism of post-traumatic endophthalmitis due to retained iron foreign body and to highlight the importance of carrying out diagnostic investigations. Case: A 20-year-old male presented with tenderness and blurring in the right eye 3 days after injury with an iron particle. Visual acuity was perception of light with accurate projection of rays in all quadrants. The slit-lamp examination revealed ciliary and conjuctival congestion. There was a verticallyoriented self-sealed, full-thickness laceration in the cornea adjacent to the limbus. The anterior chamber evaluation revealed + 4 cells, +3 flare and a 2 - mm hypopyon. There was cataract with a ruptured anterior lens capsule. Posterior synechae was present at 5’0 clock position. B-scan showed echogenic metallic foreign body in the posterior chamber, with vitreous opacities. The vitreous tap was done and intra-vitreal antibiotics injections of 1 mg in 0.1 ml vancomycin and 2.25 mg in 0.1 ml ceftazidime were given. Culture and sensitivity of the tap revealed staphylococcus as the causative agent. The patient was put on moxifloxacin eye drops, fortified tobramycin and cephazolin eye drops 1 hourly along with atropine eye drops. The patient was referred to the vitreoretinal surgeon urgently for pars plana vitrectomy and foreign body removal. At follow up, the patient’s BCVA was improved. Conclusion: The causative organism isolated was similar to that documented in other reports. Endophthalmitis must be treated with vitrectomy and intra-vitreal injections of antibiotics after a proper vitreous tap. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nepjoph.v4i1.5875 NEPJOPH 2012; 4(1): 187-190
