Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies

Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies

Intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) are small vesicles 50-80 nm in diameter formed during the maturation of early endosomes. A specialized endosome containing numerous ILVs is called a multivesicular body (MVB). ILVs contain internalized molecules such as antigens, nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites. Some of these molecules are released from the MVBs inside exosomes and are transported to other cells. Other MVBs contain molecules that are retained in the ILVs and are later degraded within the...

A retained intralenticular iron foreign body caused vision loss and uveitis. Surgical removal and cataract surgery restored good vision, highlighting conservative management until cataract develops.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Ocular Trauma
Cataract Surgery

Background:

Intralenticular foreign bodies are rare but can cause significant visual impairment.
Early management of ocular foreign bodies is crucial to prevent complications.

Observation:

A 45-year-old male presented with a retained intralenticular iron foreign body and mild anterior uveitis.
Initial treatment with topical cycloplegics and corticosteroids temporarily improved vision.

Findings:

Cataract formation six months post-presentation led to severe vision deterioration.
Successful outcomes were achieved through surgical removal of the foreign body, extracapsular cataract extraction, and posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.

Implications:

Conservative management of intralenticular foreign bodies may be appropriate until cataract formation causes visual disability.
Cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation offers excellent visual recovery in these cases.
This case underscores the importance of long-term follow-up for patients with intraocular foreign bodies.
