Detection of vitrector shavings on OCT
Retinal Cases & Brief Reports(2023)
Abstract
Abstract Purpose: To describe multiple retained intraocular foreign bodies felt to be from a vitrectomy instrument. Methods: Observational case report Patient: A 66-year-old male with history of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repaired with PPV, scleral buckle, endolaser, and fluid-air exchange presented with dyschromatopsia OD. Results: OCT demonstrated metallic vitrector shavings detected on OCT above the optic nerve head and macula. Repeat OCT 9 months later demonstrated movement of the vitrector shavings throughout the vitreous. Conclusion: We demonstrate retained intraocular foreign body shavings which are rarely seen following vitrectomy. These can be confirmed using OCT.
