HONAN GONZALEZ, Alina; HERRERA HERNANDEZ, Norma; LOPEZ, Morey  e  LORENZO, Lorenzo Rafael. Ocular trauma with a foreign body in the crystalline lens. Rev. Med. Electrón. [online]. 2012, vol.34, n.3, pp.373-380. ISSN 1684-1824.

We present a clinical case attended at the emergency unit of the University Clinic-Surgical Hospital Comandante Faustino Perez, of Matanzas, in 2012, with a foreign intraocular body at the level of the crystalline lens in a female patient aged 43 years old, housewife, with antecedents of an ocular trauma at home. At the physical examination she had a visual deficit of 0,3, and a corneal injury affecting also the cornea-scleral limbus and the crystalline with an included foreign body. At the echographic examination we found an echogenic image compatible with a foreign body at the level of the crystalline. The cornea was sutured and the foreign body was extracted with a satisfactory evolution; there were not sequels.
