  • Title: [Surgical treatment of eye wounds with retinochoroidal metal foreign bodies. Apropos of 6 cases].

    Abstract:
    Six cases of intra-ocular metallic foreign bodies located into the retino-choroidal wall are presented. A surgical treatment was performed, and included a vitrectomy, a foreign body extraction with intraocular forceps, a primary or a secondary scleral buckling for the peripheral wound, and a retino-choroidectomy for one of the posteriorly located foreign bodies. In all the cases, we observed a cicatricial retraction of the retino-choroidal wound. When the wound was peripheral, the retina detached in the cases without buckling and it was necessary to do a secondary scleral buckling procedure. When the wound was located at the posterior pole, the retina remained flat in one case, with a 6 mm metallic body, probably because of the relaxing retinotomy performed to extract the foreign body. We think that it is better to perform a primary scleral buckle of the peripheral wounds. The various aspects of the treatment are discussed.
