A case of delayed oculocardiac reflex induced by an intraorbital foreign body
1Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul Veterans Hospital, Seoul, Korea.
Abstract:
A 56-year-old male presented with a history of left periorbital pain, nausea, vomiting, dyspnea, sweating, and pallor. His left eye was injured by a bomb explosion approximately 40 years ago. Evisceration was performed. There were no cardiopulmonary and gastroenterological findings except mild bradycardia (54/min). CT evaluation revealed a 4-cm-sized, sharp, metallic, intraorbital foreign body in the left orbit. After the removal of the foreign body, the symptoms completely resolved with a normal heart rate (69/min). The authors present a case of delayed oculocardiac reflex induced by an old intraorbital foreign body.

The Micturition Reflex
The process begins with bladder filling, where the bladder wall stretches as urine accumulates. This stretching activates the urine storage reflex, mediated by the sacral spinal segments and the pontine storage center. Efferent sympathetic impulses stimulate the detrusor muscle to relax and the internal urethral sphincter to contract, facilitating...
Somatic Spinal Reflexes
One of the most well-known somatic spinal reflexes is the stretch reflex, which is activated by the sudden stretching of a muscle. This reflex involves the activation of specialized sensory receptors called muscle spindles, which are located in the muscle tissue and detect changes in the length and speed of muscle contractions. When a muscle is suddenly...
