“…Confrontation with a cat prior to clinical signs made perforating trauma by cat claw the most likely diagnosis. Additional diagnoses to consider with perforating ocular trauma include anterior lens capsule disruption with phacoclastic uveitis, 1,2,4–8 lens subluxation/luxation, 5,9 septic endophthalmitis, 10,11 intraocular foreign body 12–14 and retinal detachment 15 . Intact PLR and menace response made retinal detachment unlikely.…”

A Boston Terrier puppy presented with a full-thickness peripheral corneal defect, iris prolapse and anterior lens capsule tear in the left eye (OS). Phacofragmentation and primary repair of the corneal laceration was performed. At surgery, subluxation of the lens was also apparent. One day postoperative, there was severe corneal edema, diffuse hyphema, an intraocular pressure (IOP) of 65 mmHg and a small amount of vitreous that protruded from the corneal incision OS. Malignant glaucoma or pupillary block glaucoma were suspected. Intravenous mannitol was administered preoperatively and had no effect. An anterior vitrectomy was performed on the vitreous within the anterior chamber and pupil. One day postoperative the IOP was 16 mmHg in the right eye (OD) and 20 mmHg OS. Postoperative iridocyclitis was managed medically, and additional elevations in IOP were not recorded. Resolution of the elevated IOP following anterior vitrectomy was supportive of pupillary block or malignant glaucoma. Vision returned 3 weeks after the initial surgery. Two years after the initial injury, the eye is visual and comfortable with infrequent topical anti-inflammatory therapy.

“…Regarding the eye and ocular region, FBs are usually located at different portions in the globe, affecting typically the cornea, anterior segment and/or within the orbital space [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]; in these cases, the identified materials consist of plant material, wood splinters, glass, gunshot pellets, metallic fragments, porcupine quills and others [6,7,17].…”

“…Intraocular and intraorbital FBs have been previously described mainly in dogs, rarely in cats and occasionally in farm animals [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. In addition, organic FB such as wood, plant material and porcupine quills may also penetrate into the posterior segment of the eye [6,7].…”

Penetrating palpebral grass awn in a dog

et al. 2017

An unusual case of a penetrating grass awn in an eyelid of a dog is reported. A 6-month-old mixed breed dog was referred to the Ophthalmology Unit of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Camerino University for anorexia, lethargy, left monolateral ocular swelling and pain to the left eye, present from 1 month. Ophthalmic examination of the left eye showed copious and purulent discharge, and ultrasonography revealed the presence of an abscess containing a grass foreign body. The grass awn was surgically removed. Three days after surgery, the dog showed a marked improvement, with a total resolution obtained in 7 days. To the authors' knowledge, penetrating foreign bodies such as the one of this paper have never been described before in literature.Keywords Dog Á Foreign body Á Grass awn Á Lid abscess Á Swollen eyelid Á Ultrasonography Riassunto Questo articolo descrive un particolare caso di corpo estraneo palpebrale di origine vegetale Un cane meticcio di sei mesi di età è stato riferito all'Unità di Oftalmologia dell'Ospedale Veterinario Didattico dell'Università di Camerino per la presenza di anoressia letargia e tumefazione oculare monolaterale sinistra associata a dolore presenti da un mese. L'esame oftalmologico dell'occhio sinistro ha messo in evidenza la presenza di abbondante essudato purulento e la valutazione ultrasonografica ha mostrato la presenza a livello palpebrale di un ascesso contenente un corpo estraneo vegetale che è stato rimosso chirurgicamente. Tre giorni dopo la chirurgia il cane già manifestava un marcato miglioramento con una guarigione completa dopo una settimana. In bibliografia non sono stati mai descritti corpi estranei vegetali penetranti a livello palpebrale come quello riportato nel presente articolo.

“…In cases of perforation of the eye with metallic foreign bodies (Slatter and Bryan 1972;Schmidt et al 1975;Sansom and Labruyere 2012;Martin 2010a), the risk of infection is substantially lower than with foreign bodies of an organic origin (Bussanich and Rootman 1981;Williams and Wilcock 1988;Paulsen and Kass 2012). Hence, postsurgical medical management included a systemic and topical broad-spectrum antibiotic, steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication and mydriatic treatment (Hendrix 2007;Martin 2010a;Paulsen and Kass 2012).…”

“…Penetrating eye injuries, including corneal wounds and corneal and lens lacerations, are common in small animal ophthalmology practice, resulting from the cornea being scratched by a cat claw (Spiess et al 1996;Paulsen and Kass 2012), a foreign body such as grass awn (Bussanich and Rootman 1981;Cullen and Grahn 2005), rose thorns (Dean 2004), fragments of plant material (Gelatt 1974;Crispin 1986;Gionfriddo and Chen 2011), porcupine quills (Williams and Wilcock 1988;Grahn et al 1995;Sandmeyer et al 2007), lead or air gun pellets (Slatter and Bryan 1972;Schmidt et al 1975;Sansom and Labruyere 2012) and sticks (Martin 2010a). Perforating wounds require immediate treatment (Gelatt and Gelatt 2001a;Hendrix 2007) due both to quite severe pain as a result of abundant sensory innervation (Barrett et al 1991;Marfurt et al 2001) and to a number of potential complications, such as secondary bacterial (Malar and Dubielzig 1995;Klatte et al 2012;Bell et al 2013) and fungal infections (Andrew 2003;Chew et al 2010), as well as due to traumatic lens capsule rupture (Wilcock and Peiffer 1987;Davidson et al 1991).…”

ABSTRACT:A four-year-old, male German Shepherd dog with severe pain in the left eye following a corneal perforation with a foreign body was examined. An ophthalmic examination revealed conjunctival hyperaemia and pancorneal dense oedema, preventing a diagnosis of deeper structures of the eye and lowered IOP. Vision testing was missing or impossible to detect. Ultrasonography showed a solid hyperechoic line protruding through the iris and lens into the vitreous and minor posterior lens displacement. The dog qualified for immediate surgical treatment. Intraoperative ophthalmic examination revealed a rupture of the anterior hyaloid membrane with vitreous herniation, posterior lens subluxation, lens capsule rupture and a torn iris. Partial iridectomy and intracapsular lens extraction (ICLE) was conducted. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy revealed iridodonesis and a gradual reduction of the corneal oedema, leading to complete transparency in the bottom two-thirds of the area on Day 12 after surgery. Direct and consensual PLR was sluggish and the dazzle reflex was positive. An electroretinographic examination confirmed normal activity of the retina.
