Purpose. To report a case of traumatic endophthalmitis due toCellulosimicrobium cellulans.Design. Case report.Methods. Retrospective chart review.Results. To our knowledge, this is the first report of traumatic endophthalmitis due toC. cellulans, which did not respond to intravitreal antibiotics or repeat vitrectomy and ultimately led to the discovery of an occult intraocular foreign body.Conclusions.C. cellulansis a rare cause of endophthalmitis. Greater awareness of this bacterium in the ophthalmic literature as a cause of endophthalmitis and its association with foreign bodies may allow earlier and more purposeful intervention in future cases.

Current Case

Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) are an important cause of visual loss. The current case describesa case of retained intraocular foreign body with secondary retinal detachment in a phakic eye in a38-year-old man. The foreign body was safely removed through the sclerotomy port withouttouching the crystalline lens. The current case report wanted to show the anatomic and visualoutcomes of vitreoretinal surgery in such cases.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The presence of a foreign body in the esophagus is a challenging problem. Perforations may result in death. Impaction mandates immediate extraction.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A retrospective chart review was made of all patients hospitalized in Department of ENT, SMGS Hospital with a diagnosis of foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract between July 2017 to February 2018. Forty patients were identified. The charts were reviewed for the following: patient demographics, preoperative diagnosis, kind and location of the foreign body, timing of the procedure and the length of hospitalization.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The youngest patient in our study was 8 months old while the oldest was 60 years old. The male: female ratio of 2.3:1. The most common site of impaction was cricopharynx (55%) followed by thoracic esophagus (40%) and lower end of esophagus (5%). The most common foreign body was coin (50%) and all were seen in children upto 7 years of age. 25 (62.5%) patients were children of age less than 10 years. 20 children showed coin ingestion, 1 child of 8 months presented with impaction of fruit seed and 4 children with battery button ingestion. The length of retention of foreign body ranged from 2 hours to 6 days. All the patients were managed with rigid esophagoscopy under general anesthesia all within 12 hours of admission.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Rigid endoscope as the instrument of choice for extracting foreign bodies from the esophagus as delay in extracting foreign bodies from the esophagus may lead to retention of foreign body and hence perforation.</p>

Posterior segment intraocular foreign bodies pose a problem in restoration of significant visual acuity usuallydue to delayed presentation, improper evaluation and management. However, good history taking, meticulousocular examination and proper management can result in reasonable visual acuity in cases of retainedintraocular foreign body in the posterior segment. We are presenting a case report of penetrating oculartrauma with retained intraocular foreign body in the posterior segment. Following intraocular foreignbody removal, core vitrectomy and subsequent cataract extraction, the patient had best corrected visualacuity of 6/9.Key Words: Intraocular foreign body, vitrectomy, cataract.

Abstract Objective To identify an age at which initiation of whole nut into the pediatric diet could be considered safe, by evaluating the age distribution of children undergoing bronchoscopy with removal of nut or seed material from the airway. Method A retrospective chart review over a ten-year period identifying children age 0–18 that have undergone bronchoscopy with retrieval of airway foreign bodies. A statistical analysis of demographic data was carried out to identify age distribution of aspiration events. Results Sixty-four cases of foreign body aspiration were identified, of which 43 (67%) were of organic origin, specifically nuts. A Fisher’s exact test was carried out on the cumulative percentage of organic foreign body aspirations to identify the age distribution of nut aspiration events. A statistically significant decrease in organic foreign body aspirations occurred at approximately 36 months of age (p = 0.004). Conclusion Foreign body aspiration is a leading cause of accidental injury or death in children. Nut and other small organic foreign bodies account for a significant portion of accidental aspiration events, however, no guidelines exist regarding appropriate age of whole nut introduction into the diet. Our study suggests that 90% of pediatric nut aspiration events occur under the age of 36 months. We suggest supervised introduction of whole nuts between the ages of 3 and 4 years. Official guidelines regarding this should be considered by professional pediatric societies. Level of evidence 4

Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFB) present differently depending on the type of material (wood, glass, metal) for the IOFB, extent of the injury, and location of the injury. IOFB and the injury can cause a perforation or penetration of the globe which can require more extensive treatment including surgery. Proper evaluation of the IOFB and injury can help to determine extent of the injury, the prognosis of the vision, and health of the eye before and after treatment but may be difficult for the physician depending on the view of the posterior chamber being compromised by media or simply by patient sensitivity. The extent of the injury may also prevent proper evaluation due to swelling, lacerations on the lids, or pain. Proper ophthalmic sonography can provide a quick evaluation of the globe for any IOFB in both the outpatient setting as well as emergency department setting. Evaluation via sonography may allow the physician to accurately diagnose and properly treat the patient to help restore and prevent further loss of vision.

The well-known tendency for children to place loose objects in their months not infrequently leads to the entrapment of foreign bodies in the aerodigestive tract. With prompt and adequate removal few complications occur. However, when the foreign body goes undetected or is neglected the patient may develop dysphagia, pneumonia, failure to thrive, lung or mediastinal abscesses, bronchopulmonary or bronchoesophageal fistulas, or erosion of major vessels. Fifteen cases of retained foreign bodies were identified in a chart review between 1971 and 1977 at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, calling attention to the problems of aerodigestive foreign bodies of prolonged duration. Early and late complications are discussed and early diagnosis and endoscopic removal emphasized.

identally swallowed dentures are one of the most common foreign bodies of upper digestive tract in elderly people and it can lead to severe complications. Complications ranging from oesophageal rupture, mediastinitis, haemetemesis, and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury has been reported. Therefore, an early detection and an early intervention are important. We are reporting a case of accidentally swallowed denture. After the diagnosis of an impacted denture was made, upper GI Oesophagoscopy was done and it was removed in emergency OT. This case highlights the importance of an early treatment in order to avoid complications.

In the urinary tract, foreign body is most commonly found in the urinary bladder. It is commonly self-inflicted but can rarely be introduced by other person. Various types of foreign bodies have been reported, which includes infusion set, aluminum rod, gold chain, pearl, fish, pencil etc. Here we report a case of a 28-year young man who gave the history of forceful introduction of a long wire of mobile charger into the bladder by another person. It could not be removed by himself and by the local doctors. Then he was referred to Enam Medical College & Hospital and subsequently was removed by suprapubic cystostomy.

Self-inflicted foreign bodies in the male urethra and urinary bladder are an emergency that urologists may rarely have to face. A case of an electrical wire inserted in the male urethra and coiled in the bladder is presented here. A 33-year-old male presented with the inability to void and bloody urethral discharge after having introduced a long electrical wire in his urethra for masturbation 6 hours earlier. He had made several unsuccessful attempts to remove it. We know that variety of these objects may be impressive and removal of the foreign body may be quite challenging requiring imagination and high-level surgical skills. In this case an electrical wire was used and the diagnostic as well as the therapeutic steps for its removal are presented here. Bangladesh Journal of Urology, Vol. 14, No. 2, July 2011 p.62-64
