Surgical method and intraorbital foreign body extraction in 27 cases / 中南大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the surgical method and intraorbital foreign body extraction.@*METHODS@#Individualized plan was made based on radiology and foreign body extraction was performed in 27 cases (27 eyes). The outcome of extraction was analyzed. Visual acuity, eye movement, and ptosis were recorded before and after the operation.@*RESULTS@#Intraorbital foreign bodies in the 27 eyes were extracted successfully, 24 eyes (88.9%) extracted once and the other 3 eyes (11.1%) twice. The follow-up was 3-24(9.39±6.25) months. Visual acuity increased in 13 eyes (48.1%), and invariable in 13 eyes (48.1%) at the last follow-up. Disturbance of eye movement was found in 18 (66.7%) and 15 (55.5%) eyes before and after the extraction, respectively. Ptosis was found in 2 eyes (7.4%) and 1 eye (3.7%) before and after the extraction, respectively.@*CONCLUSION@#Individualized plan is helpful for the intraorbital foreign body extraction and eye recovery.
