“…Ultrasound biomicroscopy of the anterior segment in eyes with secondary glaucoma may show an anomalous high reflectivity in the deep angular layers. These alterations could be due to metallic particles imprisoned in the trabecular meshwork or indirectly on the consequent fibrotic reaction [ 12 ].…”

Purpose. Ocular siderosis (OS) is a sight threatening complication of retained iron-containing Intraocular Foreign Body (IOFB). Successful localization of the IOFB and timely removal are crucial to its management. The purpose of this study was to review the presentation, management, and outcome of OS at our institution. Methods. A retrospective case series of eyes with OS that underwent IOFB removal from January 2009 to March 2015 at our institution. Results. OS was seen in 9 eyes of 9 patients during the study period. There were 8 males and 1 female with an age range of 31.6 years. An IOFB was in all the eyes. The most common features of siderosis were cataract and pigmentary retinopathy seen in 6 (67%) and 4 (44%) eyes, respectively. Electroretinogram (ERG) readings were reduced in the 9 eyes. The IOFB was removed by pars plana vitrectomy in all the cases with improvement in ERG amplitudes occurring postoperatively in 7 (78%) eyes. Conclusion. A retained iron-containing IOFB can manifest itself after several years with features of OS. A careful clinical and radiologic evaluation is imperative in patients with history suggestive of penetrating ocular injury to rule out retained or occult IOFB and thus prevent this catastrophic condition.

“…Amaurosis, fulminant orbital phlegmon leading to enucleation and orbital fracture with possible brain injury and meningitis have been reported following accidents with wooden intraorbital particles (1)(2)(3)(4) . A metallic foreign body in the intraocular region may be associated to a rare condition known as ocular siderosis, which is clinically characterized by heterochromia, mydriasis, pigmentation of the structures of the anterior chamber, an increase in intraocular pressure, etc (5)(6) . The clinical presentation of an orbital foreign body is variable.…”

Orbital injuries with a foreign body may result in severe structural and functional damage to the eye or orbital contents. Management and prognosis depend on the composition and location of the foreign body and whether there is secondary infection. Metallic objects and glass are the most frequently encountered and well-tolerated, whereas organic foreign bodies can elicit an inflammatory reaction and lead to serious complications. Despite the modern imaging methods, it is often difficult to identify and locate organic intraorbital foreign bodies. This paper presents a review of nine cases of impacted foreign bodies in the orbital region and discusses the diagnosis and treatment of this kind of injury. The following data were collected: age, gender, etiology of injury, occurrence of fracture, anatomical location of fracture, type of object, signs and symptoms, type of imaging exam used, approach, transoperative complication and occurrence of death. Foreign body injuries in the orbital region can be treated with a combination of clinical suspicion, basic knowledge and diagnostic tests and depend on the skill and experience of the surgeon, thereby decreasing the surgical risk of iatrogenic injury in relation to the inherent risk of retaining an organic intraorbital foreign body.

“…Ocular siderosis includes a series of degenerative changes caused by iron poisoning in the eye, such as keratopathy, heterochromia iridum, tetanicpupils, dilated pupils, secondary glaucoma, and complicated cataracts [3][4][5]. The complications in the posterior segment of the eye caused by ocular siderosis include cystic macular oedema, diffuse pigment changes, arteriole stenosis, retinal ischaemia, retinal detachment and severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy [6].…”

Background: Until now, there was no report about retinal detachment caused by ocular siderosis. The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical characteristics of retinal detachment caused by ocular siderosis. Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was performed to analyse the clinical characteristics of retinal detachment caused by ocular siderosis in Aier Eye Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2016 to December 2019. Results: There were 12 patients (12 eyes) with retinal detachment caused by ocular sclerosis, 11 males (11 eyes) and 1 female (1 eye), aged 20-54 years. The median best corrected visual acuity (LogMAR) before and after surgery was 2.6 and 1.4, respectively. Retinal detachment recurred after the removal of silicone oil in four patients, all of whom had retinal tears. Conclusion: The prognosis of retinal detachment caused by ocular siderosis is poor, and retinal detachment easily recurs when retinal tears exist.
