An encapsulated cyst-like structure of two-disc diameter size inferior to the disc was noted with the surrounding pigmentary changes [Figure 1a]. However, at 6-month follow-up, there was recurrence of SRF [Figures 1b and 2c].
Spectral domain-ocular coherence tomography scan of the left eye showing (a) cystoid macular edema with subretinal fluid before intraocular foreign body removal, (b) resolved cystoid macular edema after intraocular foreign body removal and intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide, (c) recurrence of subretinal fluid at 6 months, and (d) resolved cystoid macular edema at 13 months

Ocular coherence tomography (OCT) showed CME with subretinal fluid (SRF) in the left eye [Figure 2a]. At 1-month follow-up post-IVTA, OCT showed resolved CME [Figure 2b]. However, at 6-month follow-up, there was recurrence of SRF [Figures 1b and 2c]. The retina was attached with good chorioretinal scarring at the IOFB site, with resolution of CME [Figure 2d].

The metallic IOFB [Figure 4] measuring 3 mm in size was found embedded in the retina inferior to the disc.
