Abstract

A case with an asymptomatic intraocular foreign body was diagnosed 25 years after childhood trauma. 31-year old woman presented with ocular discomfort and hyperemia. Visual acuity was 10/10. Slit-lamp examination revealed conjunctival hyperemia, corneal scar that might be compatible with foreign body entry, and no anterior chamber reaction or cataract. Pupil was irregular and pulled towards 6 o’clock. A swollen lesion with irregular edges, 3.0x3.5 mm in size, covered with iris epithelium, and located inferiorly in the anterior chamber was detected. Fundus evaluation and intraocular pressure was normal. Skull radiography and computed tomography revealed intraocular foreign body compatible with a stone. In her history it was learned that she had eye injury due to soil thrown to her face at 6 years of age, received medical treatment, and used eye patch but it was told that there was no major problem. The patient did not accept surgical treatment and continues her follow-ups.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, çocukluk çağında olan yaralanmadan 25 yıl sonra tanı alan belirtisiz seyreden bir göz içi yabancı cisim olgusu sunulmuştur. 31 yaşında bir kadın hasta gözünde rahatsızlık ve kızarıklık şikayetleri ile başvurdu. Görme keskinliği 10/10 idi. Yarıklı lamba muayenesinde konjonktivada hiperemi, korneada yabancı cisim giriş yeri ile uyumlu olabilecek bir iz olduğu, ön kamara tepkisi veya kataraktın olmadığı görüldü. Pupilla düzensizdi ve saat 6 yönüne doğru çekikti. Ön kamarada alt kesimde yerleşik, düzensiz sınırlı, 3.0x3.5 mm boyutlarında, iris epiteli ile kaplı, kabarık bir oluşum saptandı. Fundus muayenesi ve göz içi basıncı normaldi. Kafa radyografisi ve orbita bilgisayarlı tomografisinde taş ile uyumlu göz içi yabancı cisim saptandı. Hastanın 6 yaşındayken yüzüne toprak atılması sonucu göz yaralanması geçirdiği, tıbbi tedavi olduğu ve göze kapama yapıldığı ancak o tarihte önemli bir sorun olmadığının söylendiği öğrenildi. Hasta cerrahi tedaviyi kabul etmedi; takiplerine devam edilmektedir.
