Аннотация
PURPOSE: To describe a case of unilateral intermediate uveitis, retained copper intraocular foreign body (IOFB) and fungus.
METHODS: Interventional case report.
RESULTS: Brown-orange discoloration of the iris, lens and opacified vitreous was observed. Computed tomography revealed a retained IOFB, which was composed of copper. IOFB was removed during vitrectomy and cataract surgery. Copper deposition was demonstrated on the anterior capsule. Incidentally, dimorphic fungus were found in the vitreous.
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of intraocular copper might have reduced the virulence of the fungus preventing endophthalmitis.
