A piece of bone from the fractured orbital wall caused an intraocular foreign body. DESIGN: Case report. METHODS: An 18-yea r-old man underwent full ophthalmoscopic examination 1 week after sustaining bl unt ocular trauma to the right eye while playing basketball. B-scan ultrasonogr aphy and computed tomography of the orbits were also performed. RESULTS: Visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and anterior segment examination were normal. Fund uscopic examination revealed a fragment of bone that had penetrated the sclera, choroid, and retina. A hole in the sclera was visible. No treatment was performe d. Three months later, the patient had no ocular complaints or complications as a result of this injury. CONCLUSION: Bone from a patient’s orbit may cause an i ntraocular foreign body that may be followed conservatively in certain circumsta nces.展开更多
