Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Case Reports
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Ocular chalcosis is a rare condition caused by intraocular foreign bodies, often metallic.
  • It can lead to various ocular manifestations, including characteristic retinal changes.

Observation:

  • A 30-year-old male presented with symptoms of ocular chalcosis six years after an open-globe injury from a suspected foreign body.
  • Clinical findings included sunflower cataract, vitreous opacities, and notable brilliant patches overlying the foveal region.

Findings:

  • High-resolution imaging (confocal scanning laser tomography and optical coherence tomography) was used to measure the retinal patches.
  • The foveal patches measured 200-700 microns in diameter and 150-200 microns in height.

Implications:

  • This case provides detailed measurements of retinal changes in ocular chalcosis.
  • The precise nature of these foveal patches remains unknown, warranting further investigation.
