An unusual foreign body in a 60-year-old man with ocular siderosis is described. A surgical needle was found in the eye after magnetic resonance imaging was performed for cerebral ischemia. As a general precaution in patients who have undergone any kind of surgery, it might be better to perform a plain x-ray before performing magnetic resonance imaging to identify such foreign bodies.

Abstract
An unusual foreign body in a 60-year-old man with ocular siderosis is described. A surgical needle was found in the eye after magnetic resonance imaging was performed for cerebral ischemia. As a general precaution in patients who have undergone any kind of surgery, it might be better to perform a plain x-ray before performing magnetic resonance imaging to identify such foreign bodies.File in questo prodotto:
