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.

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.

Objective: to evaluate early and remote complication of intraocular foreign body (FB) removal by direct approach, and to determine indications for splinter removal through the wound. Material and methods. Case history analysis was performed in 31 patients with missile eye injuries. In all patients, FB was removed by direct approach at initial surgical debridement. Results. Foreign body penetration was accompanied with injuries of different eye segments, which were manifested by vitreous hemorrhage, hyphema, subretinal hemorrhage, retinal detachment, traumatic cataract. In 12 patients, there was a need in additional surgical treatment consisting in retinal laser barrage, vitrectomy, cataract extraction. As a result of treatment, visual acuity increased in 58.06% of injured. At the remote post-op period, retinal detachment developed in 16.13% cases, and vitreoretinal procedures were performed. Conclusions. Intraocular foreign body removal from the posterior eye segment using direct approach is appropriate if the FB is in the wound or in its immediate proximity. Most serious complications of missile injury are proliferative vitreoretinopathy and retinal detachment, demanding vitreoretinal surgery.

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 


Vitreoretinal surgery is evolving to a smaller size since first described. After the first vitrectomy probe defined as 17 Gauge (G), a smaller gauge (20G, 23G, 25G, and 27G) vitrectomy probes and trocars were identified. Even though 20G vitrectomy has been used for many years, thinner and less traumatic vitrectomy systems are developed and 20G has lost popularity. Hybrid use of 20G and other systems remains current, especially in cases such as endophthalmitis, intraocular foreign body removal, and cataract surgery complications.
