Endophthalmitis due to caterpillar setae: surgical removal and electron microscopic appearances of the setae.
A case of endophthalmitis due to caterpillar setae was, for the first time, successfully treated by surgical removal of the setae. The procedure was facilitated by the use of sodium hyaluronidate. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy of the setae showed evidence of enzymatic degradation of the shaft and burial of the spines in exudate.

متن کاملIntracapsular Extraction of Intralenticular Magnetic Foreign Bodies.
INTRALENTICULAR magnetic foreign bodies if left untreated lead in most instances to total cataract formation, siderosis, or as a later complication, loss of the eye. Since the use of the magnet has been developed, and powerful hand instruments have made manipulation easier, intralenticular magnetic foreign bodies have been removed by this means via the anterior route. The risk of siderosis is t...
