摘要：

Purpose: To illustrate the successful management of an occult intraocular foreign body (IOFB) lodged posterior to the iris causing persistent endophthalmitis. Methods: Two young male patients presented with corneal laceration, endophthalmitis and foreign body on X-ray but not localized by B-scan ultrasonography or gonioscopy. Results: Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM) localized the foreign body lodged between the posterior iris and anterior lens surface accurately, which was successfully removed through the limbus using an external magnet. Conclusions: UBM is invaluable to accurately localize occult IOFBs lodged in the posterior iris or ciliary body region, which ensures good visual rehabilitation of these hitherto considered difficult cases. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008.
