Perfluoro-n-octane mimicking an intraocular foreign body

Abstract

Retained intraocular foreign body (IOFB) is a major cause of visual loss following open globe injuries. Detecting the presence and accurate localization of IOFB in the setting of an open globe injury remains a challenge. There can be various mimics of intraocular IOFB on imaging including air, ocular calcifications, etc. Here, we describe a case of open globe injury wherein a retained perfluoro-n-octane bubble mimicked a retained intraocular foreign body
