Ultrasonography after ruptured globe repair can mimic a foreign body due to intraorbital air. This finding highlights the importance of considering air when interpreting eye ultrasounds for trauma management.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Ruptured globe injuries require prompt diagnosis and management.
  • Ocular ultrasonography is crucial for evaluating intraocular structures post-trauma.

Observation:

  • A case report details an ultrasonographic finding mimicking an intraocular foreign body.
  • The study involved correlating ultrasonography with computed tomography (CT) scans of a post-trauma eye.

Findings:

  • B-scan ultrasonography revealed a highly reflective echo source after corneoscleral laceration repair.
  • Orbital CT scan identified the source as intraorbital air, not a foreign body.

Implications:

  • Orbital air can present as a false positive for foreign bodies on ocular ultrasound.
