Purpose: To describe multiple retained intraocular foreign bodies felt to be from a vitrectomy instrument. Methods: Observational case report. Patient: A 66-year-old man with history of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repaired with pars plana vitrectomy, scleral buckle, endolaser, and fluid–air exchange presented with dyschromatopsia in the right eye. Results: Optical coherence tomography demonstrated metallic vitrector shavings detected on optical coherence tomography above the optic nerve head and macula. Repeat optical coherence tomography 9 months later demonstrated movement of the vitrector shavings throughout the vitreous. Conclusion: We demonstrate retained intraocular foreign body shavings, which are rarely seen after vitrectomy. These can be confirmed using optical coherence tomography. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
