Abstract

While assessing the deep placed corneal foreign body, it is important to evaluate the pen- etration of the foreign body into the anterior chamber. However, occasionally, evaluation of this problem may be difficult by the slit lamp biomicroscopic examination. In this case we de- termined a deep-seated corneal foreign body on slit lamp examination, but if the penetration of the anterior chamber had occured it was not seen clearly. Images of anterior segment optic coherence tomography showed that the corneal foreign body had not penetrated the full thick- ness of the cornea explicitly. In this case, we aimed to show the benefits of imaging with an- terior segment optical coherence tomography for evaluation of deep placed corneal foreign bodies.

Özet

Derin yerleşimli kornea yabancı cisimlere yaklaşımda ön kamaraya girişini değerlendir- mek önemlidir. Ancak biyomikroskobik muayenede bunu değerlendirmek bazen güç olabilmek- tedir. Bu olgunun biyomikroskopik muayenesinde ön kamaraya girişini net olarak değerlendi- rilemeyen derin yerleşimli bir kornea yabancı cisim olduğunu saptadık. Ön segment optik ko- herans tomografi görüntülemesinde yabacı cismin korneayı tam kat olarak geçmediği net ola- rak görüldü. Bu olgu ile derin yerleşimli kornea yabancı cisimlerin değerlendirilmesinde ön segment optik koherans görüntülerinin faydalı olabileceğini göstermeyi amaçladık.
