Recently, a number of reports have brought the use of ultrasound scanning in the detection of foreign bodies to the field of hand surgery. A case is presented in which ultrasound was not able to diagnose the presence of a large (3.5 × 0.5 × 0.5 cm) nonradiopaque wooden foreign body lying between the flexor tendons of the forearm. However, embedded in ultrasound gel, the piece could readily be identified. This report serves as a reminder that the anatomical localization of a foreign body amid structures with vastly different echogenicity from its surroundings (such as flexor tendons of the hand and forearm) may reduce the usefulness of diagnostic ultrasound and that in such circumstances clinical suspicion may be a more reliable indication for exploratory surgery.

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 left eye showed no pathological findings. Goldmann contact lens examination showed IOFB which was lying in the vitreous body in the inferior-temporal region. Retinal rupture was noticed at 7 o?clock. The optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination was performed and it showed atrophic macular area as well as decreased peripapillar retinal fiber layers thickness. Ultrasound showed the IOFB in vitreous body cavity. History revealed that the patient had an accidental trauma, 48 years ago, when an old bomb from World War II (WWII) exploded. Due to the decrease in visual acuity and fibrosis of the vitreous body surgical intervention was performed on his left eye (phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation, pars plana vitrectomy and instrumental extraction of foreign body). Conclusion. The intraocular foreign body (IOFB) was asymptomatic for 48 years. Symptoms depend on material and localization of the foreign body and the type of injury.

Wooden Foreign Body

Intracranial wooden foreign bodies due to transorbital penetrating injury sparing orbital globe are relatively rare with no reported cases till date. A multidisciplinary approach with multiple imaging modalities is needed for preoperative surgical planning. In this case report, we report a case of 3-year-old male who presented to our emergency department with history of fall from 5 feet with no vision over right eye. ~2cm cut injury with sutures in situ was present over nasal ridge with pus discharge. CT scan head showed foreign body over temporal region. Right fronto-temporo-orbito-zygomatic craniotomy with removal of foreign body was done. Deep seated abscess seen over temporal fossa was evacuated and post-operatively intravenous antibiotics was continued. Contrast enhanced CT repeated on 15th post-operative day showed no remaining abscess or foreign body. The patient was discharged on oral antibiotics. The wound healed completely with no improvement of vision in 1-week follow-up. Keywords: brain abscess, orbito-cranial penetrating injury, wooden foreign body

ABSTRACT This case report documents a novel late surgical complication in a 2 yr old dog following an enterotomy to remove a jejunal foreign body. Twenty-six days following the original surgery, the dog was re-presented with signs consistent with an intestinal obstruction. A mural intestinal abscess was found as the cause of the obstruction during exploratory surgery, and the site was successfully removed with a resection and anastomosis. Histopathology showed multifocal abscessation with cyst-like structures partially lined with mucosa. The dog recovered without complication and remains healthy 4 mo later. The exact cause of the lesion is not known; however, local contamination through a focal mucosal defect or complications related to the use of barbed suture in the original enterotomy repair may have contributed.

All manner of foreign bodies have been extracted from the bladder. Introduction into the bladder may be through self-insertion, iatrogenic means or migration from adjacent organs. Extraction should be tailored according to the nature of the foreign body and should minimise bladder and urethral trauma. We report a case of a bullet injury to the bladder, which finally presented as a gross hematuria after remaining asymptomatic for four years. We present here an alternative to suprapubic cystostomy with a large bladder foreign body treated via a combined transurethral unroofing followed by removal using a grasper passed through a suprapubic laparoscopic port.
