Abstract

Foreign bodies located in the upper conjunctival fornix may remain undetected inadvertently and may cause delayed healing. These occasions cause refractory or recurrent conjunctivitis and unhealing corneal abrasions. Here in, we report a case of an organic foreign body that remained in the upper conjunctival fornix of a male subject for 3 weeks. This paper emphasizes the importance of anamnesis, examination and eversion of the eyelids, especially in cases presenting with unresolved conjunctivitis.

Özet

Üst göz kapağında yerleşmiş yabancı cisimler dikkatsizlik nedeniyle tespit edilememekte ve iyileşmenin gecikmesine neden olmaktadır. Bu durum dirençli veya tekrarlayan konjonktivit ataklarına ve kapanmayan korneal abrazyonlara neden olabilmektedir. Burada üst konjonktival forniksinde 3 haftadan beri organik yabancı cisim kalan bir erkek olgu sunulmuştur. Bu yazıda özellikle tedavi ile iyileşmeyen olgularda anamnez, muayene ve göz kapağının eversiyonunun mutlaka dahil edilmesi gerektiğinin önemi vurgulanmıştır.
