Corneal foreign bodies of varied nature have been reported, however, vegetable foreign bodies in the cornea have seldom been described. A case is reported of a male from the Marshall Islands in the Pacific who retained a number of deep corneal foreign bodies after being struck in the eye by a piece of a coconut shell. The foreign bodies caused considerable inflammation which ceased after they were exposed and removed by means of a centrally based lamellar corneal flap. The patient's eye has remained quiet for 4 months following removal of the foreign bodies.
已有多种性质的角膜异物的报道，然而，角膜中的植物性异物却鲜有描述。本文报告一例来自太平洋马绍尔群岛的男性患者，其眼睛被一块椰子壳击中后，角膜深处残留了一些异物。这些异物引起了相当程度的炎症，在通过中央板层角膜瓣暴露并取出异物后，炎症消退。异物取出后，患者的眼睛已保持平静4个月。
