Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations, imaging features and surgical method of a patient diagnosed with corneoscleral foreign body, in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Methods The clinical data of the patient were retrospectively analyzed, and relevant literature was reviewed. Results The patient was a 31-year-old male whose left eye was injured by the crashing of iron filing one month ago. After the injury, the foreign body was removed in a local hospital, but he still had a sensation of foreign body. Ophthalmological examination showed pus plug in the anterior chamber angle, but no obvious foreign body was detected. After orbital CT and ultrasound biomicroscopy(UBM)examination, corneoscleral foreign body was diagnosed and the foreign body was removed with surgery. Conclusion Corneoscleral foreign body is one of the common ophthalmic diseases, but it is hard to diagnose if the duration is long. For such patients, medical history should be collected timely and imaging examinations should be conducted to reduce the rate of misdiagnosis.

Key words: Corneoscleral foreign body, Ocular trauma, Ultrasound biomicroscopy
