    Citation Excerpt :

    Most commonly, patients present with a globe perforation with or without a retained intraocular foreign body. Alternately, a unique condition known as chorioretinitis sclopetaria may occur, with damage to the choroid and retina from shock waves produced by high velocity projectiles that pass between the globe and orbital wall [1]. This type of injury may be suspected with findings of orbital air, metal, and/or bone fragments on imaging and is confirmed by ophthalmic examination.

    Citation Excerpt :

    It is characterized by proliferative macular scarring and pigment abnormalities. It was first described by Goldzieher in 1901 and its synonyms include: proliferating chorioretinitis of Lagrange, traumatic chorioretinal rupture or chorioretinitis proliferans [2,3]. The orbital approach for extraction of a foreign body depends on its site, technical facilities and the surgeon's experience.

    2014, Saudi Journal of Ophthalmology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Air-gun pellet injury is a possible cause of permanent visual loss and may cause vital intracranial damage. The most common findings for air-gun associated trauma is sclopetaria which results from shock wave injury caused by the pellet and can result in severe visual loss.1–3 We report three cases of air-gun pellet injuries.
