title: [Results of the treatment of post-traumatic exogenous siderosis of the eye].
abstract: In the period of 3 years the authors observed 7 patients with an intraocular foreign body not diagnosed or to late treated. The signs of siderosis appeared very early (after some days) or did not appear even after 1-2 years. The absolute removal of the foreign body together with topical, intraconjunctival application of desferal and its general, intramuscular injections condition the withdrawal of siderosis and the preservation of vision, although the electroretinographical curve remains forever pathological. A scrupulous kinetic and static visual field examination may help in diagnosis of the ocular siderosis in cases of lack of electrophysiological instrumentarium.
