Purpose To describe new cases of sclopetaria and evaluate the risk factors, management, and visual prognosis of all reported cases in the literature. Observations We performed a retrospective, observational case series. This study included six cases (median age 23, interquartile range 33) of sclopetaria. Additionally, literature searches were conducted in the PubMed and Cochrane Library databases to uncover risk factors associated with all published cases of sclopetaria. Main outcome measure was best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) worse than 20/20. Sixty-seven cases (71 eyes) of sclopetaria have been reported, of which 59 cases (61 eyes) met inclusion criteria in this study. Most were young (median age 19.5 years) men (51/59, 88.1%). Thirty-seven eyes were observed while 24 underwent immediate surgery including six pars plana vitrectomies and three scleral buckles. Compared to initial presentation, BCVA improved in 31/48 (64.6%) eyes, remained stable in 12/48 eyes (25.0%), and worsened in 5/48 eyes (10.4%). Ten patients (16.4%) achieved a final BCVA of 20/20 with median follow up time of seven months. In a multivariate model, location of sclopetaria in the macula, temporal retina, or immediate orbital foreign body removal predicted poor final BCVA with an area under receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.767. Conclusions and importance Traumatic chorioretinitis sclopetaria is rare, but reports have increased dramatically over the past two decades. While pars plana vitrectomy may be required for the management of retinal detachments and non-clearing vitreous hemorrhage, close observation is appropriate in most cases. Visual prognosis is poor with most patients attaining 20/200 vision or worse.

“…Surgery should be decided after evaluation of several parameters like accessibility, anatomical location and nature of the foreign body. 8 Another important thing to rule out in such cases is child abuse, the embedded foreign body might be evidence of some form of physical abuse or manhandling. Several cases of children who presented with a circumferential scar on the neck have been reported, which appeared due to strangulation either by accident or by abuse.…”

The presence of foreign bodies in a chronic wound is a well-known phenomenon. The common locations are wrist, neck and chest cavity. Retained foreign bodies in soft tissues become reason for formation of sinus which can be superimposed by infection. Most of foreign bodies in soft tissues remain un-detected, becoming the reason for delayed diagnosis. Some of the foreign bodies are inert and stay in the body tissues for prolonged time without causing any deleterious effect but few of them erode into surrounding tissues and cause prolonged illness. Tracheo-cutaneous fistula secondary to a foreign body in a child is rarely reported. In this case, the patient had retained foreign body in her neck for almost eight years which remained un-diagnosed while being treated for various diseases.

“…This patient suffered from an injury from a glass ball without being aware that it was implanted in the scalp, and this is a very rarely reported foreign body in the skin . This case provides an example of the importance for careful patient history taking with pediatric patients prior to treatment, because even the parent was unaware of the injury.…”
