Résumé
Intraocular foreign bodies (FBs) are common ocular injuries reporting to the emergency services all over the world. The authors highlight the findings and surgical management of a case of intralenticular metallic FB following an injury while using chisel and hammer. The ocular path of the FB (2 mm) could be traced from a self-sealed corneal perforation, extending through the anterior capsule rupture, terminating at the posterior capsule, forming a posterior capsule tent with a part embedded in clear lens. Preoperative ultrasound biomicroscopy gave clues on posterior capsule integrity and the exact site of FB, and helped prognosticate and plan the surgical management of the case. The 'locked-in' FB was extracted after clear lens aspiration and posterior capsulorrhexis. The posterior capsule acted as a natural barrier between anterior and posterior segment, where the FB was found embedded.
