Abstract
Purpose: This case report aims to describe a rare case of asymptomatic retained metallic intraocular foreign body (IOFB) in the retina with reduced full-field electroretinography (ff-ERG) in a Chinese woman.
Methods: This is a clinical investigation of a patient who unexpectedly presented with a metallic IOFB at the superior-temporal region of the left eye ring during a brain computed tomography.
Results: Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. The dilated fundus photograph of the left eye revealed a metallic IOFB in the retina. She reported no ocular symptoms. A diagnosis of asymptomatic metallic IOFB was made definitely. The subsequent ff-ERG demonstrated subnormal amplitudes of dark and light adaption in the left eye, whereas responses were normal in the right eye.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest the application of ff-ERG has important benefits for evaluating the visual function in patients with retained IOFB.
期刊介绍：
Documenta Ophthalmologica is an official publication of the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision. The purpose of the journal is to promote the understanding and application of clinical electrophysiology of vision. Documenta Ophthalmologica will publish reviews, research articles, technical notes, brief reports and case studies which inform the readers about basic and clinical sciences related to visual electrodiagnosis and means to improve diagnosis and clinical management of patients using visual electrophysiology. Studies may involve animals or humans. In either case appropriate care must be taken to follow the Declaration of Helsinki for human subject or appropriate humane standards of animal care (e.g., the ARVO standards on Animal Care and Use).
