Background: Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) such as air gun pellet is a rare finding in wild animals like Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). The purpose of the present scientific report is to describe the surgical retrieval of IOFB secondary to ballistic wound in a wild Rhesus macaque. Case description: A juvenile female wild Rhesus macaque was brought with the history of swollen and inflamed ...

Extradural hematoma (EDH) is a frequent lesion, with an incidence varying from 0.2 to 6% in patients admitted to hospital due to traumatic head injury. The higher incidence is found in patients with more severe injuries. The association of EDH with subperiosteal intraorbital hematomas is rarely reported, and we were not able to find in the literature any report of traumatic bilateral intraorbit...

BACKGROUND Foreign body aspiration is an uncommon entity in adults. Herein, we describe our experience with flexible bronchoscopy in the removal of tracheobronchial foreign bodies in adults. We also conducted a systematic review of the literature on the topic of foreign body inhalation in adults managed with flexible bronchoscopy. METHODS The bronchoscopy database (from 1979 to 2014) was revi...

Introduction: Foreign bodies in the esophagus are considered to be a life-threatening condition in adults and children because of esophageal perforation, chemical pneumonitis, airway obstruction, and development of a fistula, leading to high morbidity and mortality with this condition. Most cases present with immediate symptoms. However, in rare cases, the foreign body can migrate within the t...

When people ingest or insert foreign bodies, a brief history may be sufficient to establish the diagnosis, guide initial management decisions, and predict the process required for definitive removal. Sometimes, however, diagnosis and management of a foreign body might require a meticulous history and insightful care. Those at higher risk of having a foreign body include neurologically impaired ...

Several reviews of ocular amyloidosis have emphasized its origins in the conjunctiva and lid (Halasa, I965; Stansbury, I965; Smith and Zimmerman, I966). The occurrence of orbital amyloid has been considered extremely rare, its pathogenesis speculative, and its place in the spectrum of diseases associated with amyloid deposition uncertain (Groniowski, Bernardczykowa, and Norn, I965; Howard, I966...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of foreign body, its location and clinical symptoms in patients with symptoms or positive history of foreign body swallowing and to assess the role of endoscopy in the management of foreign body removal. METHODS All patients referred to the Ear, Nose, Throat emergency ward of a general hospital in Kerman-Iran with a positive history of swallowing foreign b...

Meningiomata comprise some I7 per cent. of all tumours of the central nervous system (Kernohan and Sayre, 1952; Reese, I963). Of 230 consecutive cases of expanding lesions of the orbit, Reese (I963) found only eleven (5 per cent.) to be intraorbital meningiomata-none of them lying free within the orbit. The large majority of these intraorbital meningiomata are secondary-that is they extend into...

Globe luxation is a painful and potentially vision-threatening condition in which the globe becomes trapped behind the eyelids requiring physician intervention in the emergency department or eye clinic. On presentation, the patient typically complains of an inability to close their eye, severe foreign body sensation, decreased vision, and significant eye pain. Although most visual symptoms are ...
