Resumen

MOKEY CASTELLANOS, Miguel O.; YANG, Tian  y  ALVAREZ RIVERO, Mirta B.. Removal of a penetrating corneal and intracameral foreign body. Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2020, vol.33, n.1  Epub 17-Jun-2020. ISSN 1561-3070.

A 56-year-old male patient attends consultation with left eye vision reduction, pain and redness. The patient has a history of essential hypertension and eye trauma caused by a wood splinter while chopping wood 37 years ago. The foreign body went in as far as the anterior chamber and remained intracorneal, since at that time it could not be totally removed. A description is provided of the surgical technique used. Scant information was found about surgical procedures to remove similar foreign bodies. Therefore, the technique herein described should be useful to treat analogous cases.

Palabras clave : Penetrating eye trauma; foreign body; surgical technique.
