Purpose: To evaluate clinical characteristics, visual outcomes and globe survival after intraocular foreign body removal from posterior segment via pars plana approach. Methods: A hospital based retrospective study. All the patients of penetrating eye injury with intraocular foreign body in posterior segment as detected by computed tomography were enrolled from 2012 to 2014.Results: Thirty patients of 30 eyes were included. The mean age was 27.7 years. (2-52). Twenty-four (80%) were male. Out of 30 eyes 19 (63.3%) eyes had injury at Zone 1 and 11 (36.7%) eyes had injury at Zone 2. The mean time spent between primary repair following surgery and intra ocular foreign body removal, was 15.47 days. Retinal detachment and endophthalmitis prior to intraocular foreign body removal was present in 9/30 of eyes. We looked for correlation between post operative Phthisis bulbi with zone of injury and pre operative endophthalmitis and preoperative retinal detachment. However, p value for the above correlation was more than 0.552 and 0.815 respectively, which was statistically not significant.Conclusions: The eyes with posterior segment intraocular foreign bodies showing clinical features of preoperative endophthalmitis, retinal detachment and the zone of injury also did not have any direct significance with globe survival.

Current Case

Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) are an important cause of visual loss. The current case describesa case of retained intraocular foreign body with secondary retinal detachment in a phakic eye in a38-year-old man. The foreign body was safely removed through the sclerotomy port withouttouching the crystalline lens. The current case report wanted to show the anatomic and visualoutcomes of vitreoretinal surgery in such cases.

Anatomical Outcome

AIM: To evaluate the anatomical and visual outcome following removal of intraocular foreign body (IOFB) through pars planavitrectomy.MATERIAL & METHODS: A retrospective analysis of 11 cases of retained posterior segment foreign body that underwent pars planavitrectomy for removal of foreign body during the period of January 2013 to August 2017 was conducted. Demographics of patients, mechanism and details of injury, Snellen best corrected visual acuity, examination results at presentation and after surgery, any diagnostic imaging and surgical procedure were recorded and analysed.RESULTS: Out of eleven eyes of eleven patients (mean age= 25.4}8.6, range 22 50 years; all male) preoperative retinal detachment and endophthalmitis was seen in 27.3% and 36.4% of cases respectively. Eighty-two percent of cases presented within 17 days of sustaining injury. Foreign body size ranged from 2mm to 8 mm and all were magnetic metal. After vitrectomy and removal of foreign body, the number of eyes with vision of hand motion or worse decreased from 72.7% to 27.3%. Similarly 45.5% of eyes gained best corrected postoperative visual acuity of better than 6/60. Anatomical success could be achieved in 81.8% of eyes.CONCLUSION: Anatomical outcome following vitrectomy in eyes with retained posterior segment IOFB in terms of retinal attachment is sufficient; however, visual outcome can be affected by other collateral ocular injuries and their sequelae.Journal of Universal College of Medical Sciences, Vol. 5, No. 2, 2017, Page: 45-48

Introduction. Penetrated injuries are most difficult injuries of the eye. Intraocular foreign body (IOFB) may lodge in any of the structures it encounters, from anterior chamber to the retina and choroid. Notable effects caused by foreign body injury include traumatic cataract, vitreous liquefaction, retinal and subretinal hemorrhages, retinal detachment and development of endophtalmitis. Case Outline. A 49?year?old man sustained injury of the right eye with a piece of metal wire. On admission visual acuity was VOD: 1.0 and lower intraocular tension TOD=6 mmHg (10?22 mmHg). Corneal entry wound was noticed near limb on 11h with a prominating foreign body of 18 mm in length that passed through the iris, lens and vitreous. X?ray findings confirmed existence of a large foreign body extending along the entire length of the globe. IOFB removal was done with anatomic forceps. On postoperative detailed clinical examination we observed retinal rupture in the upper temporal quadrant fitting in the area of the IOFB damaged retina. Laser photocoagulation of retinal tear (laser retinal barrage) was done. Visual acuity on discharge was the same (1.0) and intraocular tension was within normal limits (10 mmHg). Conclusion. Penetrated injury of eye requires detailed examination of all eye structures, beginning from the anterior to posterior segment. Timely diagnosed ruptures of the posterior segment of eye before the development of traumatic cataract, and adequate therapeutic procedures prevent serious complications of IOFB penetrated eye injury such as retinal detachment and permanent reduction of visual acuity.

The Mean

Introduction: Posterior segment retained Intraocular foreign body (IOFB) management is challenging. Facility of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and availability of well trained vitreo retina surgeons are the basic need to accomplish this work.  Encircling band provide permanent 360° support to close the anterior retinal break and prevent traction on the retina. The objective of this study is to analyse the clinical characteristics and predictors of the final visual outcome and survival of the globe in cases of retained IOFB in the posterior eye segment. Materials and methods: A hospital based retrospective observational study was conducted. All the patients of retained IOFB in the posterior segment presented from January 2016 to June 2019 were enrolled. Patients presented with visual acuity of NPL were excluded. Statistical analysis was performed using a variety of tests using SPSS version 21.   Results: Forty eyes of 40 patients were included. The mean age was 27.08±10.68 years (range 5-66). 95% of our patients were male. Most of them (52.5%) worked on the farm. 26(65%) of 40 eyes had Zone I injury. The median time spent before presentation was 13.5 day. Retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and endophthalmitis were present in 15, 23 and 5 eyes, respectively, before IOFB removal. The mean LogMAR visual acuity was improved significantly from 2.50±0.87 to 1.33± 1.01 (p=0.003). Poor presenting visual acuity, retinal detachment and large diameter of IOFB were found as the predictor of poor final visual acuity. Conclusion:  Pars plana vitrectomy by a vitreo retinal surgeon can give encouraging results in the cases of retained posterior segment IOFB. Poor presenting visual acuity, large diameter of IOFB and RD before IOFB removal are predictors of poor visual outcome.
