Abstract

Intraorbital Foreign Bodies (IOFB) are objects, usually of metallic nature, located outside the orbit cavity, and can potentially cause serious damage to ocular and orbital structures. The case is presented of a patient with an anterior metallic IOFB that was extracted with the aid of a Livingstone-Mansfield ocular external electromagnet. Despite being an instrument “of the past”, we believe that the electromagnet can still be useful in certain circumstances.

Resumen

Los cuerpos extraños intraorbitarios (CEIO) son objetos que se sitúan en la órbita, normalmente metálicos, que pueden llegar a provocar serios daños estructurales y funcionales en el ojo y en el contenido orbitario. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con un CEIO metálico de localización anterior que se extrajo con la ayuda de un electroimán ocular externo tipo Livingstone-Mansfield. A pesar de tratarse de un instrumento que podría considerarse “del pasado”, sigue teniendo cabida en nuestro medio en determinadas circunstancias.
