  • Title: Phthisis bulbi with a large protruding foreign body--a rare complication of penetrating injuries.
    Author: Chandra M, Sharma V, Ghose S, Kashyap S, Pushker N.
    Journal: Orbit; 2003 Sep; 22(3):145-9. PubMed ID: 12868020.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous extrusion of a retained intraocular foreign body is a rare occurrence. An unusual case is described in a 30-year-old male, where a foreign body remained in the eye for four years and then, as phthisis set in, the foreign body gradually extruded, causing constant irritation of the upper lid. Such a situation has not been documented before. Its management along with the histopathologic features are discussed in the light of the available literature.
