To report a rare case of multiple cactus spines embedded deep in the cornea that were removed with the aid of a fiberoptic illuminator.
Interventional case report.
A 20-year-old man had an accidental ocular injury of the right eye when he hit a household miniature cactus plant. There were 80 to 90 spiculated foreign bodies embedded in the cornea, some of them even penetrating the anterior chamber.
Removal of the foreign bodies was performed with the aid of a fiberoptic illuminator, which was chosen because it provides superior visualization of the semitranslucent spines. No residual corneal spines were found postoperatively.
Household miniature cactus plants can cause corneal injury, with multiple foreign bodies that can be difficult to localize and remove. The use of a fiberoptic illuminator in such a situation is simple and effective.
报告一例罕见的多根仙人掌刺深深嵌入角膜并借助光纤照明器取出的病例。
介入性病例报告。
一名20岁男性在家中撞到一株小型仙人掌植物时右眼意外受伤。角膜内嵌入了80至90个有刺的异物，其中一些甚至穿透了前房。
借助光纤照明器取出了异物，选择该照明器是因为它能更好地显示半透明的刺。术后未发现残留的角膜刺。
家用小型仙人掌植物可导致角膜损伤，伴有多个难以定位和取出的异物。在这种情况下使用光纤照明器简单有效。
