Urgent removal of intraocular foreign bodies is crucial. This case highlights successful surgical removal of a metallic foreign body from a child

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) pose a significant risk of vision loss and endophthalmitis.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management are essential for favorable outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of successful surgical management of an intralenticular foreign body in a pediatric patient.
  • To illustrate the diagnostic and therapeutic approach for a metallic IOFB causing traumatic cataract.

Main Methods:

  • A 9-year-old boy with a metallic IOFB lodged in the lens underwent phacoaspiration of the traumatic cataract and simultaneous foreign body removal.
  • B-scan ultrasonography was utilized for diagnosis and localization of the IOFB.
  • Surgical intervention involved cataract aspiration and intraocular lens implantation without corneal suturing due to the flap wound characteristics.

Main Results:

  • The patient's best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved from 0.4 to 1.0 postoperatively.
  • Intraocular pressure (IOP) remained stable at 17 mmHg.
  • Fundus examination revealed a normal appearance with an attached retina.

Conclusions:

  • Simultaneous cataract surgery and IOFB removal can effectively restore vision in pediatric patients.
  • Careful assessment of corneal wounds is necessary to guide surgical decisions, such as the need for suturing.
  • Early surgical intervention for intralenticular foreign bodies can lead to excellent visual recovery.
