Özet
S
iderosis bulbi is a sequel of retained, iron-made, intraocular foreign body (IOFB).1–13 Iron, released from
the IOFB, is toxic to the ocular tissues including the
retina and trabecular meshwork1 and it may cause iris discoloration, mydriasis, anterior subcapsular cataract, reduction in
electroretinography amplitude, and glaucoma.1–13 Prompt
surgical removal of the IOFB should be performed to prevent
these complications.8,9
In this report, we want to present a case of siderosis bulbi
with an unknown, retained intraocular metallic foreign body
