title: [The diagnostic and surgical characteristics of gunshot nonmagnetic intraocular fragments].
abstract: Results of treatment of 42 patients with a magnetic intraocular fragments (balls, pistons, capsules) are analyzed and indications for various surgical interventions for removal of fragments with the minimal injury for the eye are defined. The role of echo diagnosis (together with x-ray diagnosis and computer-aided tomography) in the selection of operative access to a foreign body and, specifically, echolocation on the operative table during surgery is shown. Combination of informative diagnostic methods with advanced surgical technologies helps save the organ and attain functional results in this extremely grave posttraumatic pathology.
