Introduction.
We present a case of a metallic foreign body embedded in the anterior chamber angle.
After standing in close proximity to a construction worker breaking a tile, a 26-year-old woman using soft contact lens for the correction of mild myopia presented to emergency department for evaluation of a foreign body sensation of her right eye.
Methods and Results.
Diagnosis was confirmed by gonioscopic examination and a noncontrast CT scan of head and orbits.
The foreign body was removed by an external approach without utilizing a magnet.
The patient's final outcome was favorable.
Discussion.
The above is a rare clinical situation, which is impossible to detect on slit-lamp examination without a gonioscopic view.
Proper imaging and a specific management are mandatory in order to achieve favorable outcome.
