| pubmed-article:19226346 | pubmed:abstractText | An intraocular iron foreign body may cause many ocular complications, sometimes even blindness. Therefore, if possible, it should be removed to avoid ocular siderosis. We report a case in which a foreign body was trapped in the optic nerve and could not be removed. After a 2-year follow-up, no ocular siderosis or progressive deterioration in vision was found. This is the first case report of a foreign body in the optic nerve behind the eyeball in the PubMed literature. | lld:pubmed |
