Possible Spontaneous Extrusion of a Traumatic Deeply Embedded Intracorneal Foreign Body: A Case Report

Traumatic intracorneal foreign bodies are very common and account for 30.8% of all ocular injuries. Deeply embedded intracorneal foreign bodies have been documented in association with good final visual outcome when managed effectively. We report herein, an unusual case of possible spontaneously ext...

description Traumatic intracorneal foreign bodies are very common and account for 30.8% of all ocular injuries. Deeply embedded intracorneal foreign bodies have been documented in association with good final visual outcome when managed effectively. We report herein, an unusual case of possible spontaneously extruded deeply embedded intracorneal foreign body 5 weeks after sustaining a trauma to his right eye. Whether the foreign body was truly spontaneously extruded or absorbed by corneal tissue is unknown.
