Abstract:
An unusual intraocular foreign body--the silicone sleeve of a soft-tipped extrusion cannula left behind accidentally in the vitreous cavity following a vitreoretinal surgical procedure for complex retinal detachment--is reported. The silicone sleeve remained within the eye for a year without causing any problem.
